Inspiration Monday: united stares

0 Flares Filament.io 0 Flares ×

Ah, Labor Day. Nothing like a three-day weekend to get some real writing done. Oh, gosh, though. I didn’t do any Voice Week writing and it’s less than a month away! Gahhh…

Read for some super fun times:

Juan

SWSondheimer

Parul

Chris

Craig

The Rules

There are none. Read the prompts, get inspired, write something. No word count minimum or maximum. You don’t have to include the exact prompt in your piece, and you can interpret the prompt(s) any way you like.

OR

No really; I need rules!

Okay; write 200-500 words on the prompt of your choice. You may either use the prompt as the title of your piece or work it into the body of your piece. You must complete it before 6 pm CST on the Monday following this post.

The Prompts:

United stares
Soundproof
Stage whisper
We will never be rid of him**
Funny you should ask
 

Want to share your Inspiration Monday piece? Post it on your blog and link back to today’s post (here’s a video on how to do it); I’ll include a link to your piece in the next Inspiration Monday post. No blog? Email your piece to me at bekindrewrite (at) yahoo (dot) com.

Happy writing!

** Thanks to TragicPete for this prompt. Yes. He still exists.

  9. Hello friends,

    Incredibly short one this week, that goes nowhere really. I found myself starting to move into a rut and have tried to play around a little.
