A friend of mine and writing buddy suggested that we should
really be posting more actively on our blogs. His suggestion was that we pitch
prompts to one another, and write either prose or a poem inspired by the
prompt. There will be no restrictions in place, aside from word count. The
piece, if prose, can be no fewer than 400 words. Basically, that’s all there is
to it.
Those who enjoy my literary endeavors will more than likely
find these Prompt-inspired posts intriguing, since generally they’ll be tiny
novelettes posted for your reading pleasure. This exercise ought to be an
excellent practice in literary form, even in such a small scale.
Another friend already picked both his and my prompts for
the week, so you can expect a post sometime soon concerning my first.
I’m very excited for this whole thing. I feel like it will
be a healthy reprieve, and keep me writing constantly, even if only small
sequences. You’ll have to keep your eyes peeled for the installments to this
challenge.
An excellent idea! Wish I could join in! I desperately need to break free from writer's block.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you fellas would consider letting me join you in this quest for inspiration?
Talk to your writing buddy about it. ;) No worries, if you guys want to keep it just to you both. But if you're open to adding another struggling writer... well, I'm here.
