Inspiration Monday: borrowed heart

Things are a little scarce this week – I hope these means you are all gearing up for Voice Week? Ack…I need to finish my pieces.

Anyway, if I missed anybody, it was accidental – please let me know in the comments!

And read this week’s work:

Ooops – missed Raina

Don’t forget Voice Week starts October 1. Check out photos of the prize here. If you want to join and haven’t already, tell me in the comments!

Inspiration Monday: this one’s for you (Miss Judy)

This week’s prompts are dedicated to my writing teacher from grade school, who I knew as “Miss Judy.” She died this past weekend. Her awesome, short writing prompts were what inspired me to start Inspiration Monday. I think it’s safe to say our little community would not exist if it hadn’t been for her. Though I hadn’t seen her in years, I’d heard she was doing poorly, but I idiotically put off calling her. So I missed my chance to tell her about all this. But maybe she’ll take a little time (if one can take ‘time’ out of eternity) to glance down and read some of your fantastic work:

I know that voice

Inspiration Monday: united stares

Ah, Labor Day. Nothing like a three-day weekend to get some real writing done. Oh, gosh, though. I didn’t do any Voice Week writing and it’s less than a month away! Gahhh…

Read for some super fun times:

** Thanks to TragicPete for this prompt. Yes. He still exists.

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

Craig

Evenstarwen

Elmo

Chris and another

Bryant continues the unanswered phone

Rebekah

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
