Prompt for March 10, 2014 – Day 69

Tomorrow’s my niece’s two month birthday! (That’s better than happy Monday, don’t you think?)

Slightly new prompt type today.  I found this little bit of something floating around my desktop on Saturday and decided to share it.  See what you can do!

Prompt Type: Craft a Scene

Prompt: Using the scenario below, craft a scene–or a whole story, novel, or whatnot.

You’re awoken from your midnight sleep in your favorite chair to your dog barking wildly in the living room. Pulling her aside, you look out the window, only to see a face staring right back at you. Whose is it? Why are they there?

Prompt for March 7, 2014 – Day 66

Happy Friday!

Prompt Type: Character Development

Prompt:  Think about your main character and what motivates them.  Boil it down to one vice or virtue–love, greed, envy, fear, hope, etc.–that drives what they do.

Now change it up.  How would your main character be different if envy  motivated them?  Write a character sketch or scene detailing how hope motivates the actions of your main character.
