Ideas Inspiration Game (sort of)

[Sanguina Cruenta]

Okies, this is how this works. Someone posts a prompt, and everyone goes away and scribbles something. It can be a short story, a poem, something that might become a novella, or just an idea. If you're keen on playing, but don't get anything from a prompt, do it anyway. It might be dull and awful, but it might not.

Then you come back and tell us what you came up with. biggrin Don't post any part of the work itself - the idea is to be free to experiment and do something that could be really awful. Sharing something, while awesome, does put you under the spotlight and often people aren't happy enough with what they've done to want to do that. Keep the work you do, or toss it away. Rewrite it into something great, or consider it the worst thing you've ever done... it's not important, as we won't see it (unless you want to post it for critique in another thread).

This gives us the opportunity to see all the different things that different people can get from the same prompt (picture, word, line, question). We share the idea, rather than the end result.

If people are keen to play, I'll post the first prompt in a day or two biggrin

I'll play. Sounds like it could be a good time, something to bring some life into this poor guild. 3nodding  

[Sanguina Cruenta]

blaugh Happy. Let's see if anyone else pops in to play before I post the first prompt. 3nodding  

[HorsesOfTheNight]

I will play! ^_^  

[ncsweet]

I'm in smile  

[Sanguina Cruenta]

Sweet! biggrin

Okay, this one is from "Writer's Book of Days" by Judy Reeves. (I'll try to grab them from all over the place in case you end up buying the book or something and all the prompts therein would be second hand xp )


The first prompt is:
Rising early to begin the journey  

[Thorns and Spices]

Okay, so, maybe no one got anything out of that prompt xd  

[oOGarrettOo]

I admit to having a difficult time with it. I'd get the beginnings of something, like a sentence or two, and then that'd be it. emo  

[HorsesOfTheNight]

I had an idea for this....but then I went to the beach and got the idea for Breakwater 40 and had to write it. sweatdrop  

[Sanguina Cruenta]

We can try another one if you like ^_^  

[oOGarrettOo]

Lol, I'm willing to keep trying. It's a good way to get the mind working 3nodding maybe a different kind of prompt this time? Like a picture? Unless you wanted to stick to writen.  

[Dr Tabitha]

Ohohohohoho~
I have like two chapters written from this prompt mrgreen  

[oOGarrettOo]

Nice. Two chapters is pretty good. How do you feel about them?  

[Sanguina Cruenta]

That's awesome, Namida! biggrin What did you write about?


New prompt is from wikipedia! It is this:
