Hope everyone has had a great week so far. It's time for this weeks writing prompts. If you're stuck, or you're considering writing for the first time, these might be perfect for you. Don't forget that stories under 1,000 words must be posted as part of a collection.

 


Prompt 652 – Challenge
Tag – Description
Most times as a writer we will skip or give the bare minimum of a description so we can move ahead to what we want to tell. Then a reader begins asking for details and we realize what is lively in our imaginations begins to fall flat on the written page. Look out your window and focus on one action, animal, person, or plant. Now write about it including as many details as you can, but keep the scene you are creating moving, not stagnant. In other words, don’t go “Alice, 5’7’ tall, stood approximately two feet from her property line, bouncing a faded rubber ball for exactly five minutes in green shorts and yellow shirt.”

Prompt 653 – Creative
Tag – First Line
So, what did he take you for your first date?

@Timothy M. I thought I was the only one who was thinking, that sentence was a little off. Even saying it out loud sounds iffy. If I used that sentence, I would swap "what" for "where" as well.
