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 11, 2014 – Day 42

Almost the middle of February already–can you believe it?  I sure can’t.

Prompt type: Opening line

Prompt:  They’ll tell you it’s not a game–everyone will tell you it’s not a game.  But they’re all liars, every single one of them.  This is a game, and if you don’t play to win, you’re going to pay the price for it.

Prompt for February 3, 2014 – Day 34

Another Monday, but this week’s special — the Sochi Olympics start this week!  I’m from a family that adores the Olympics and I’m just as excited this year as I’ve been in past years.  The Winter Olympics are my favorite and sometimes–sometimes–I think every four years just isn’t enough.

Today’s prompt is another using Kim Freimoeller’s Inspiration Dice.

Prompt type: Genre, setting, character, and plot seed

Prompt: A fiction piece (any genre) where an anti-hero must triumph with the help of a passing traveler.

Prompt for February 2, 2014 – Day 33

Happy Imbolc / Groundhog’s Day / Super Bowl Sunday for folks who care.  I plan on getting some work done while I hang out with the family and watch the game (and the attendant commercials).

Hopefully, you’re planning on doing some writing before gridiron (if you’re the type who cares about American football).  Here’s your prompt for the day.

Prompt Type: Opening line

Prompt:  I’d walked through hell and then back again to get here and I’d be even more damned than I already was if I was going to let someone stand in my way.
