Inspiration Monday: We Come in Pieces

  By

This week in the InMon Laboratory: Writing eight pages with the kind of ease that makes me think, “At this rate, I’ll have a draft within a year,” even though I know the rate never lasts. Two steps forward. In other news, sometimes I feel like I’ve used certain prompts before. But I’m too lazy to look. It’s not like they expire!

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:*

WE COME IN PIECES
NOISE BARRIER
FLIGHT CLUB
KNIGHT OWL
NOTION SICKNESS

This week in the InMon dirigible: Book sale! Can’t beat that, unless there was some way to go to one without getting a crick in your neck. In other news, cool weather has returned! We know not how long.

Inspiration Monday: Heart Control

  By

This week in the House of InMon: Dipping my toes into the publishing world again. Things have changed since I was last exploring here. Books about 18- to 35-year-olds have their own genre now: “New Adult,” while “Young Adult” has NOT been changed to something like “Pre-Adult.” And agents are tracking their manuscript wish lists with #MSWL. Biggest thing the market seems starved for? Books with minority protagonists. So if you’ve got one, dig it out and dust it off.
