Inspiration Monday: Heart Control

  By

This week in the House of InMon: Dipping my toes into the publishing world again. Things have changed since I was last exploring here. Books about 18- to 35-year-olds have their own genre now: “New Adult,” while “Young Adult” has NOT been changed to something like “Pre-Adult.” And agents are tracking their manuscript wish lists with #MSWL. Biggest thing the market seems starved for? Books with minority protagonists. So if you’ve got one, dig it out and dust it off.

And now for our top stories:

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:*

HEART CONTROL
RABID PUNCTUATION
THIS WAS ALL BUILDINGS
TWIN LANTERNS
FRESH CRAZIES

This week in the InMon Vale: Finally watched the beautiful Stranger Things, and #WeAreAllBarb. In other news, there seems to be some trouble with the comment system, so I’m gonna try making updates and clearing caches and see if that does anything.

Inspiration Monday: Muse’s Revenge

  By

This week in InMon Gardens: Fun with weed wackers! In other news, when you finally get an entire day to dedicate to writing, and then you spend the entire day staring at the computer and come up with like one major plot development but NO words, and then finally around 8 p.m. when you’re trying to scrounge something for dinner, the words finally start to come, but you have to go to bed soon – that’s when you realize why it takes so darn long to finish anything. *Shakes fist* Curse you, you mischievous muse!
