Inspiration Monday

What is InMon?

Inspiration Monday (InMon) is a weekly writing challenge designed to spark your imagination. Every Monday, I post five vague writing prompts, with which you can do anything you like.  The rules are as strict or as loose as the participants choose, and genius inevitably ensues.

Check out the archived Inspiration Monday pieces for some great short stories, and subscribe to join the fun!

Who are the InMonsters?

The InMonsters (as they have dubbed themselves, also known as the Rewriters) are the talented folks who participate in InMon. Writers of all ages, from all over the world, who meet here to inspire and be inspired. We’ve had writers in their early teens to ones in their late sixties, from America to India, from screenwriters to composers, to aspiring novelists. All are welcome.

Badges?!?

Rewriter Marantha has graciously donated these badges she created for the InMon participants (because she is awesome!). If you’ve submitted to Inspiration Monday, feel free to pick one, save it to your computer, and upload it to the sidebar of your blog, or into your InMon submission post (much appreciated if you use the image to link back here to InMon). Go for it!
