Tag: how to write a short story

So the hosting switch has been made for the most part, but there’ll likely be more visual changes as I work on getting things to look right – and generally figuring out how to work this thing! It’s kind of like driving a new car. I’m having to learn how to use all the new bells and whistles…while trying to locate the old ones.

Here’s something both familiar and new – read up!

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:

watch this

spacing out

cloaking device

name from a hat

instant revenge

Important news: I’m working on transferring this site from free WordPress to self-hosted this week. This process should be invisible to you all, but just in case there are technical difficulties – be warned. And wish me luck!

In other news, ooooo, look at all the great work this week! And Chris has another pub credit to his name, in AntipodeanSF. Great stuff, Chris. Not that any of us are surprised. : )

So I just started watching Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse on Netflix. It’s pretty interesting so far. Also very similar to a book idea I got from a dream. Darn it.

If you have a minute, lend Olive some first paragraph feedback over here. Also, Chris had a short story published in Slit Your Wrist Magazine!

Now read some InMon!

What a week. My cold is only allergies, but that means I still have it. : (

Fortunately, there was a lot of good reading.

Sorry I’m late, folks. My Internet was down last night, as was/is the Internet of many others, apparently. For a few minutes, I sat in front of my computer wondering if this was how the apocalypse would begin. Then I went to bed early. I think I have another cold.
