Inspiration Monday: Fingerpaint Prophecy

  By

This week on Planet InMon:

InMonster Zero is glad to be back, and still reeling from a particularly fruitful library book sale.

In other news, the new hashtag #VeryRealisticYA is making me laugh.

And studies show, if your prompts randomly rhyme, just go with it.

And now, for our top stories.

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:

FINGERPAINT PROPHECY

DARK MATTER

TIME SHARE

BLANK STARE

ODD PAIR

Inspiration Monday: Fluffy Bunnies

  By

This week in InMon City: Studies show that four out of five InMonsters will pick the darkest prompt. What the Dickens? Maybe I should throw a cuddly one in there this week and see what happens.

Research suggests that if you mow your neighbor’s lawn out of the goodness of your heart and she makes you fudge out of gratitude, you should answer your door when she comes knocking on it. Seriously. There is fudge on the other side of the door. Why yu no open it?

And now for our top stories.

Inspiration Monday: Knitting Nooses

  By

This week in InMon world: A title prompt inspired by Tale of Two Cities; Screwtape Letters read by Monty Python’s John Cleese; comments now open on ToWanderLost’s blog; and I still can’t find my Tolstoy.

Also, doubt over the plural of noose. Nooses? Nice? Niece?

Inspiration Monday: Philosophy Machine

  By

Our newest InMonster wrote a gorgeous piece and doesn’t even have a place for us to leave admiring, jealous comments. Hopefully next week the mysterious ToWanderLost will allow us to express our appreciation for his/her skillful blend of gritty details and poetic imagery.

In the meantime, we read and sigh.
