Inspiration Monday: Don’t Look Up

  By

Okay, I just saw someone refer to last night’s game as the “Superb Owl.” It is difficult for me to express how awesome this is, especially as a copywriter forced to use phrases like “Big Game” and “Game Day” to avoid trademark infringement.

And oh look! InMonstories!

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:

DON’T LOOK UP

IRREPLACEABLE

CRACKED PROMISES

YESTERDAY’S NEWS

SNAKE OIL BARON

Inspiration Monday: Sell Time

  By

After continued computer trouble I determined it was a hardware problem, not a virus, and I bought a new computer (3-5 years is the limit on these things anyway). Is anyone else on Windows 8 yet? It’s awfully different from 7.

Meh. Wouldn’t you rather read about more interesting troubles? Yes, I thought so:

Inspiration Monday: Future Relic

  By

Despite it being a long day, I’m feeling rather good lately. Rather alive. These university podcasts are quite bracing, and I’ve just started reading Niven’s Ringworld as well as Nathan Bransford’s new book on writing. What are y’all reading?

I hope it’s this:
