Picture Prompts

By Rhonda on February 2nd, 2010

I’m a day late with this writing prompt and I apologise. My excuse is that I had a very busy day yesterday with a sick husband and a book release. It’s a bit of a lame excuse, but it’s all I’ve got :)

This “Monday” we have an image prompt. Write a story or poem inspired by one of these images.

Story Starter from The First Line

By Amber on January 20th, 2010

I’m quite late in posting Monday’s exercise although I had it in my To Do list.  A To Do list doesn’t help much if you ignore it to do other things (like reading) that aren’t on the list.

Going with the theme last week of Story Starter, here’s one for you from The First Line.  If you like what you write, why not send it in to them?  Their deadline is May 1st, 2010.  You can’t change the line in any way.

Paul and Miriam Kaufman met the old-fashioned way.

Story Starter

By Rhonda on January 12th, 2010

You may be wondering why I’m putting up an exercise on Tuesday instead of Monday. Well, I was waiting to see if Amber put one up first because I couldn’t remember if I was even Mondays or odd. Turns out, I must be odd — I bet you all knew that already ;)

This week start a story with the following line:

She missed her train

What do you guys think? Should we make this one into a contest? Let me know, if there is enough interest I’ll round up prizes and set some simple rules :)
