Inspiration Monday: footprints on the moon

 Voice Week is just over a month away! I picked up this year’s prize yesterday – H.G. Wells, The Collector’s Book of Science Fiction, including The War of the Worlds, The First Men in the Moon (in which you’ll see much inspiration for C.S. Lewis’s Out of the Silent Planet) and a bunch of other things I’ve never heard of – as they first appeared in original turn-of-the-century magazines! I’ll post photos soon. One randomly-selected voice writer will win it. Sign up in the comments if you haven’t already!

And read some quite compelling work:

Kayla (MC)*

Marantha and part two

Elmo

Chris and another

Bryant continues the unanswered phone

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:

Footprints on the moon**
Heart murmur
Wait for the siren***
Paper key
Pain is my alarm clock****

Inspiration Monday: you only live twice

Facebook folks: Evenstarwen recently asked if there was an InMon Facebook group. There isn’t, but how many of you would be interested in having a BeKindRewrite Facebook page and/or InMon group? Would you find it easier to connect with the community through Facebook, or do blog comments, etc., suffice? Tell me yay or nay in the comments!

And read some lovely work:

Raina

Kate

Chris and another

Evenstarwen

Otakufool (few weeks ago) and another I missed

Mike

Now entering reality
Thimble clad

Inspiration Monday: mirror mask

I re-watched Mirror Mask last week. Neil Gaiman. Jim Henson. The really useful book. Does it get any better than that? So anyway, all the prompts are from Mirror Mask this week. : )

Lots of great work this week. But you may need to read some of these with a tissue.
