These images were too perfect to pass up, but too expensive for me to license for just this prompt. Thus, I’m doing the link thing rather than the ‘post a picture’ thing. Clicking is worth your time. Honestly. In these two images we have the same model, in the same setting wearing the same dress, and yet the mood is completely different between them. Your challenge is to use one, or both of these images as the inspiration for a story or poem. Keep atmosphere in mind as you are writing. |
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. |

…well, for this week anyway |
Here’s the very late exercise prompt from Monday. Coincidentally, it will help with NaNoWriMo prep or could be used as an exercise in NaNoWriMo to increase your word count. One of the unstated premises of shows like The Real World and Survivor is what happens when a person is removed from their element. As a NaNoWriMo character exercise this can reveal how your character reacts to a stressful situation. As a word count booster, it can be a dream sequence. So what happens when a computer geek is put on the court as a professional basketball player? Or the surfer dude is in Alaska near the water but no waves? Or the earth bound human winds up on a ring of Saturn? Or the 6 foot tall man finds himself standing amongst a crowd of women who are at least 8 feet tall? Run with it and have fun. |
