Inspiration Monday: the final threshold

  By

If you’ve been following my Twitter feed, you know that this is, sadly, the very last Inspiration Monday. I’m moving to Bielefeld, Germany to pursue my Ph.D. in Conspiratorial Narrative. They told me I can’t have Internet there. Does that seem fishy to you?

So let’s enjoy the work of the InMonsters one last time. Remember to savor every word!

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:

THE FINAL THRESHOLD

FAREWELL TO WORDS

DON’T BELIEVE IT

CATCHING THE BAIT

TOMFOOLERY

Inspiration Monday: aerodrome

Another Monday, another delicious helping of words. How about a nine-course meal followed by five tiny appetizers?

Inspiration Monday: myth kit

  By

Today’s first prompt inspired by a Reebok ad that read “Start your own legend.” Don’t you just love that?

In other news, the new “check this box to prove you’re human” commenting system has reduced spam comments from 60+ per day down to around 5. Woah. So thank you all for your patience in checking the box!

Now read some very clever work:

Inspiration Monday: plausible deniability

Puns seem to be making more appearances in the prompts. I don’t know why. Also, what tastes better than colorful breakfast cereal at nine o’clock in the evening?

Maybe if it goes with a little reading:

Somewhere between the tire blowout and the ten-hour workday I got quite tired. Good thing I have your great work to bring me up again!
