  By

So by now you probably all know that I goofed, or some mysterious technological misfortune prevented me from posting prompts last week. Fortunately Chris covered for me! Extra awesome points to Chris! So, first, here are all the people who wrote the week before last.

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:

Best nightmare
The war that never happened
Mind games
Reading faces
Beggar king

Inspiration Monday: a dying art

Home again, but Internet will be spotty again Thursday through Saturday (happy Thanksgiving everyone!). Things still look good for a post this Friday though (it’ll just be scheduled). Enough of my boring life; read some of these great stories: I know you’ll get sucked in.

Inspiration Monday: follow the colors

  By

I had a great weekend! Saw some family, bought some books, drank really good coffee. Finished re-reading the Hobbit and I think I found what I want on my tombstone (because what writer hasn’t thought about that?). Ten million awesome points if you can guess what I picked! Or you could spend your time reading these awesome pieces instead:
