February 9th Prompts

One prompt submission this week for the moment. Here it is:


A soldier dies in the middle of writing a letter home. It is finished and sent by the person who killed him/her/it.

Hey, you.

When I log in, stats pop up and I see that more people are reading this than just the few who have had me shove links in their faces.  This has me really, really curious.

So if you found me on your own somehow, please stop and say hi by leaving me a comment.  I'd love to know who's reading!

Yo yo yo

PSA:  I have added a "Prompts" page to my sidebar to start keeping all the linkage in one place, that way it isn't buried in my own posts all the time.

Better late than never; my genie prompt

Here it is.  Nearly a full two weeks late.

More old stuff

So, another writing exercise I have done in the past was less specific in its prompts.  The idea was just to make something that served as a good hook.  That's what this is.  Going through old stuff is exciting and horrifying.  Some of it I read and am happy with, but the vast majority gets a cringe.  The things I wish I had continued playing with are few and far between, but I guess it's something that they exist at all.  My preferences over the years have definitely changed.  I was all about fantasy settings back then and I am veering away from that a lot more these days.

I wish I had something with a genie in it so Amber wouldn't murder me.

An old prompt

Since I completely failed this week, I decided I would post an old prompt I had done for someone (not in on this game, sadly).  There's actually a lot more to this one, involving the end of the world dystopia that is alluded to at the beginning, but I cut it down because that's what felt right for inclusion here.  I actually always meant to revisit this and edit it.  Heidi is gonna hate all the paragraphs :D

A week off

I think everyone might have had a crappy week.  I know I did.  Kayla was the only one to finish on time.  Amber plans to have something up today.  So we're going to leave last week's prompts up and let the game drag out a little but here so everyone who wants to catch up can.  And if anyone feels ambitious, they can always grab another prompt or just write something else.  Right?  Right!
