Inspiration Monday: the books conspired against us

  By

Sometimes I feel sorry for the prompts that don’t get used. Much as I used to feel sorry for the stuffed animals that couldn’t fit on my bed when I was a child. But my mother told me they got to have a party in the closet. Maybe the unused prompts get to have a party in cyberspace. And they wear tin foil hats and listen to techno and throw glowing paint at each other.

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:

the books conspired against us
The best things in life cost everything
kind lie
earth rise
don’t tell me

Inspiration Monday: epic naptime

  By

I rearranged my books by color. Even split up some series. I mean, who designs a series of books with clashing spine colors! Pink and orange?!?!? What were they thinking?

Never mind. Just read some of this groovy stuff:

Inspiration Monday: speechcraft

  By

Blue. Man. Group. Saw them Saturday night. So fun. If you ever get the chance to see them, I highly recommend it.

In other news, happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans! And to my British friends, no hard feelings?

I plan to sleep in Wednesday, get some writing done, watch a Will Smith movie about an alien invasion, and go see fireworks somewhere. How ’bout y’all?

You could start your personal celebration by reading some of the brilliant work linked below:

Tab > Enter is evil! If you got this post before all the prompts were in – sorry! Working on it…

UPDATE: Okay. Got it now. Why, oh why do I hit keys without thinking about it? “What does this button do” indeed!
