Two goals in my
writing life are to write daily and to write the elusive "short hook"
intro to a story! I’ve tried. Really, I’ve tried. But while there are many
adjectives one might use to describe me, pithy is not one of them. Those who
know me know that I can barely say hello in 100 words.
So, with a nod to
excellent prompt writing sites such as “Thinking Ten”, I’m going to choose a
prompt, write for 15 minutes, edit to make it tolerable, and post it here. And
if I ever actually write a true “hook”, there may be trumpets.
You can join in
the fun! I’m hoping some intrepid fellow writers will join me in tackling the
writing prompts. To that end, I’ll be tweeting and FaceBooking the prompts and
inviting you to try your hand. Take my prompt, write for 15 minutes, edit as
you see fit, and share your results here! I am always thrilled at the endless
variety of imagination. We can help each other grow as writers with some
constructive commentary, and have fun along the way. Let’s see what we can
create!
I will occasionally
take a break from prompt writing to regale you with tales of dog and cat
wrangling, tween parenting, and convention roaming. I don't even have to make
those up.
