[TEXT] The Hot Date

Write about an average character who meets up with an extremely attractive character for a date. What does the attractive character look like? Where are they meeting for the date? Who is the waiter? What do they order?


The date takes a sudden twist when a fire breaks out in the restaurant. Does it happen at your characters’ table, a nearby table, or does it come from the kitchen? What is the evacuation of the restaurant like? Does the fire make the date better or worse? Do your characters go to another restaurant for dinner or do they grab hot dogs from a 7 Eleven?

[PHOTO] Wheat Field




Wheat Field


What do you see? What do you feel? Why are you walking in the wheat field? Are you alone with your thoughts or did you bring someone out there to talk to in private? What do you want to change before you leave the wheat field?

[TEXT] …Walk into a Bar

Many jokes start with “Three guys walk into a bar” or some similar variation.


Write about a character or a group of characters who walk into a bar.


What kind of bar is it? What time of day is it? What is the bartender like?


The catch is that you must end the story with the line: And he didn’t get up for three days.

[TEXT] Board Games: Clue Prompt 1—Before the Party

Clue is a game of deduction. Most people are familiar with the guessing part of the game, which includes a character, a murder weapon, and a room—Colonel Mustard with the pipe in the Conservatory.


Write from the perspective of one of the Clue characters (list of characters) just before attending the party where a murder will take place with one of the possible murder weapons (list of weapons). Why is your character going to the party? Is he/she expecting to know anyone at the party? Does he/she like going to parties? Is he/she looking to network or get drunk? Is he/she expecting to leave the party with someone? Is the weapon he/she is bringing a gift or something he/she normally carries around?

An Unconventional Prompt


Today's prompt is pretty ambiguous, but it's for a good reason. As a writer, you need to draw inspiration from everyone and everything around you. Answering pre-written prompts is a great form of mental exercise, but it doesn't inspire you to find inspiration on your own. That's why for todays prompt I encourage you to find a picture or paragraph somewhere on reddit that inspires you and post it in the comments with your prompt response. Try to keep it SFW, if you feel it might be NSFW message me and I'll let you know if it's appropriate to post. As always, have fun!

Confession


A confession can be a cathartic experience for the teller. For this prompt, write a detailed confession for us. Remember to take the time to establish who the character is in your mind before you begin writing, and as always, I encourage you to be creative with the format you submit your response in.

[TEXT] Waiting


You've been sitting there, alone, in the Starbucks, for over three hours. People have come and gone, and you've seen at least one unhappy customer scream at the barista, but your expected appointment has still not arrived. Your patience is running thin.


Who are you waiting for, and why? What happens when (and if) they finally arrive?

[POEM] Epitaph



Rose, oh reiner Widerspruch, Lust Niemandes Schlaf zu sein unter soviel Lidern.

Rose, oh pure contradiction, joy

of being no-one's sleep, under so

many lids.

Beauty and the Handsome Prince


Doesn't quite have the same ring to it. However, I've always wondered what would have happened if the prince had welcomed the sorceress in disguise into his castle. Satisfy everyone's curiosity with this prompt response, and remember, you can format your response any way you want; poem, ballad, even haiku. As always, have fun!

[CONT] The Highway sprang up, pushing the ocean away...


The highway sprang up, pushing the ocean away. They moved the trees and replaced them with concrete. Then they replaced the stew of rock, rubble and soil with man made forest. There they plopped it on the side of the road, used only to filter the sounds of the passing automobiles and serve as a nest for all sorts of vermin.


"Highway." She scoffed. Smoke flowing from her nostrils as she peered from her window to the street.
