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:

Breaking into prison
When you look away
The alien’s first question
He was the only one smiling
Time speeds up

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!

Waking up was worse
Collecting men
One size fits none
No tomorrow

*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.

Inspiration Monday: the fault in our stars

  By

This InMon is important for several reasons. First, it is my birthday. Second, it is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Third, and most importantly–it’s only one week till Voice Week!  Leave a comment if you want to join in or if you have questions. Participants: Visit the Voice Week homepage to make sure your name is on the Voice Writers list, and if it’s not, leave a comment and I’ll add you.

FOURTH – and this is important too – because of Voice Week, InMon will be postponed until October 10, which means you have three weeks to turn these prompts into gold, instead of just one.

Now check out what happened last week!

Inspiration Monday: don’t run

  By

This week, I noticed that I have a disturbing new habit of sticking apostrophes where they don’t belong, on plural word’s. <like that! ME! I usually notice and fix it before anyone else reads it, but it frightens me nonetheless because I have never done that before. Am I losing my mind???

Don’t answer that.
