Inspiration Monday: looking down on the stars

  By

A bit of a slow week in Rewriter land; it is November, after all. Extra awesome points to those of you doing NaNoWriMo who also managed to write InMon stories this week!!! You’re all insane. But in a good way. Read and be inspired!

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:

Looking down on the stars*
Kill the hero**
Blood type
The only thing he ever wanted
Just like the book said

Inspiration Monday: escape your own skin

  By

Greetings, my dear InMonsters! Yes; I stole that from LoveTheBadGuy. Thought it fitting, today being Halloween; I also picked some creepy-sounding prompts, which I  guess technically should have been last week, to build up to Halloween, but I didn’t think of it till today. Anyway, read some genius! /

Inspiration Monday: my homework ate the dog

  By

Watching World Series game 5. This has got to be a conspiracy of the blood pressure drug companies. Best get your mind off it by reading some of this week’s work. I’m off to watch the bottom of the fifth!

Inspiration Monday: the gunman is useless

  By

RLW chose Hitchhikers, which was fortunate, because our second winner, Chris of ChrisWhiteWrites already had it! RLW, I shipped yours last Saturday and Chris, I’ll ship Podkayne this Saturday. Everyone; be sure to pop over to Voice Week once more, as there were a few late submissions that are well worth the read. : )

In other news, the Rangers just won Game 2 of the ALCS in a walk off grand slam!!! Eleventh inning! Heck yes!!! (Sorry to any Detroit fans–y’all played a great game.)

Now, at last, after three weeks, back to InMon!

*Today’s first prompt comes to you from Markus Zusak’s I Am the Messenger, which I have just finished reading. Rather more adult than The Book Thief, but quite worth reading, owning, and learning from.
