Inspiration Monday: Duck Duck Goose

  By

Driving home from work today, figuring out a conversation between two characters that won’t even happen until book three – I start tearing up. Do your characters ever make you cry?

Regardless, feel free to laugh or cry for these characters:

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:

DUCK DUCK GOOSE

FROZEN TEARS

SERENADE

HOLDING THE CARDS

CHOOSERS CAN’T BE BEGGARS

Inspiration Monday: Only One Rule

  By

I recently rediscovered the joys of trail mix! …And the tragedy of it never having enough M&Ms. But regardless, it is a wonderful pick-me-up when you’re feeling sleepy during a writing session. Also, exercise. Never underestimate the power of forcing blood to your brain!

It also helps to be inspired by great work like this:

Inspiration Monday: Raise Heaven

  By

Went to my first con over the weekend – Anime Fest in Dallas. It was a strange feeling not being the nerdiest person in the room. I felt like some alien creature who’d been separated from its home world at birth and has found its way back only to discover it does not understand the doings of its own people.  Of course, anime is not my thing, so many of these people were more like my second cousins than long lost family.

Omigosh, somebody needs to organize a Star Trek convention called Kahn Con!

But I digress.

Check out the latest work from the InMon family!
