Earlier this month, several US States were witnesses to a meteor hitting the atmosphere. Write about a character’s reaction to this type of phenomenon. You’ll get to know the character better.

Use one of the follow images as inspiration for a story or poem. I triple dog dare you.

Incidentally, if you ever find that you have a use for stock photos, movies or sound files and you sign up to IStockPhoto using the links I post in these prompts, we make a little bit of money. That money comes in handy when I need to license a photo for a prompt (because I don’t like the free ones) or to make winner certificates for NaNo and WdM etc. Just so you know

We all have deadlines of some sort in our lives.  We have self-imposed ones during NaNoWriMo and Writo de Mayo to write a set number of words or accomplish specific writing goals.

Deadlines are extremely helpful in staying disciplined with our writing.  For today’s writing exercise, pick an item from Duotrope’s Theme & Deadline calendar and respond to it before May 1st. 

Good luck!
