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:

ONE HUNDRED IN THE SHADE

GOING ROGUE

IN SPITE

CURIOSITY SHOP

EVERYTHING WRONG

Inspiration Monday: Country Without History

  By

This week Ed Stockham made a video that could go with last week’s title prompt, friendly fire. Coincidence? Or could he secretly be an InMonster???

Check out this fantastic work by some official InMonsters while you ponder the possibility:

Inspiration Monday: Friendly Fire

  By

The glory of three-day weekends: resting on Sunday to write a ton on Monday. Also, I scored gold at two different Half Price Books sales: an illustrated Hobbit, a hardcover Dune (forty cents, baby!), a couple of Wodehouses (thanks, Anne, now I’m addicted), and more, including What If the Earth Had Two Moons? which I’ve been wondering for years.

I’m excited about reading them all, which is what you should be about these:

Inspiration Monday: can’t stop crying

  By

I’m guest-posting over at Raina’s home base, Writer’s Club KL,  going a bit more in-depth on a subject frequently discussed here: the power of storytelling. Check out the first installment here.

In other news, something is wrong with my comment system. Many real comments (including my own) are being shuffled into the spam folder. I’ve been checking the spam regularly to rescue them, and  I’m looking for ways to fix it. In the meantime, it may simply take awhile for your comments to appear on the site.

Okay, news over – enjoy this week’s reading!
