This Friday I challenge you to write a Dear John or a Dear Jane letter. Make it funny or serious, realistic or fantastic. Just write it

I’m a week late in posting my writing prompt for Monday. I hope you have fun with this one.

Write a story which involves a fortune teller machine. If you’re working on a novel, you can even write it into a scene.

Good luck!

I’m a day late with the Monday exercise. This one is a bit different from ones we’ve done in the past.

At some point, you may have the opportunity to pitch your novel to a publishing house. But you only have three sentences. The trick is to use well constructed sentences – not ones that are 25 words each with lots of commas. These can also be used in your NaNoWriMo profiles. Can you do it?

Examples

• Red caped girl travels alone through the woods to see her ill grandmother. She successfully overcomes the obstacles set in her path and then finds a wolf inside her grandmother’s house. Only she can vanquish the wolf and save her grandmother.
• Treated like a servant by her stepfamily, Cinderella finds acceptance with her animal friends. The intervention of a fairy godmother allows Cinderella to attend the royal ball and find true love. Can she defy her stepfamily and live happily ever after?

Good luck!

I’m late in posting Monday’s Writing Exercise.

So write about a bad habit in 500 words or less. Remember, it must have a beginning, a middle and an end to count as a short story.

Good luck!

Use the following first line for your next story or novel. “I shouldn’t have opened the door.”

Good luck!

If you can fit in the words of state, perfection, skewered, epitome, and wings into your novel, short story or poem, you are awesome! Good luck.

If you can, try and fit the following words into your poem, short story or novel. Good luck!

case, beverage, swift, rhino, grey.

For today let’s all use the same topic for this Monday’s writing exercise: mutant rabbits.

Good luck and happy writing!
~Amber

As always, try and fit the words listed below into your work. Good luck!

Installment, coffee, murder, distasteful, and wash.

How was your Writo de Mayo?

We’re back to the regularly scheduled writing prompts so I thought today we’d try some flash fiction. Flash fiction tells a story with strong characters in approximately 1000 words or less.

So write about world domination in 850 words or less. Go!
