This is a writing prompt swap, the first in a series that we'll do and is based on the book "Story Starters." See below for author info. Write a scene or a story using any one of the following prompts: a) Under a drawer liner, your character finds a letter, yellowed with age. b) Your character slept with a 30-year-old teddy bear c) Your character kept the secret in his toolbox. Send two partners a typed copy of your scene or story. Snail mail. International. Group membership SPECIAL NOTE: This swap is based on exercises in a great book that I encourage you to read, especially those who love writing prompts. "Story Starters" by Lou Willett Stanek, Ph.D. ISBN 0-380-79552-3 The sub-title of the book is: "How to jump-start your imagination, get your creative juices flowing, and start writing your story or novel." I bought it several years ago, so I'm not sure if there's an updated edition, but that's the ISBN on my copy. |
