Prompt for February 18, 2014 – Day 49
Just about everyone’s seen Star Wars (and if you haven’t stop reading this post and go watch episodes IV-VI right now. RIGHT NOW.). Today’s prompt is inspired by the iconic opening scroll from that series.
Prompt Type: Opening Scroll
Prompt: Think of a project you’ve been working on and put together their opening scroll, their tease of history and hint at what’s to come, a la the Star Wars trilogy.
Alternatively, come up with something entirely new, write their opening scroll, and see what happens next!

Prompt for February 16, 2014 – Day 47
Another Sunday — more than halfway through February to boot! I’ve been dedicating a lot of my evenings to working on UNSETIC and Lost Angel Chronicle work.
And watching the Olympics, because they’re the Olympics and I’m a fan.
A new kind of character development writing prompt today–hope you enjoy!
Prompt type: Character development
Prompt: Pick the two characters that mean the most to your main character. Both are in imminent danger but he or she can only save one of them. Which do they save and why?
What does this say about your main character?

Prompt for February 15, 2014 – Day 46
Apologies–a few hours late on today’s prompt, but I highly doubt there’s many folks looking for it at midnight! I’ve been caught up in the Olympics for the past few days and have been loading daily rather than a week at a stretch. Going to have to fix that today!
Here’s your slightly belated prompt.
