Hey guys! Last night, moonreader and I came up with a name for the collection. It will be called "Inkdrops"  - what do you guys think?

For today's prompt, let's practice our descriptions again. I'll give you three things to describe: a sudden thunderstorm, an old library, and an aging woman. So, take each one and write a paragraph or so describing them. If you feel up to it, create a story using the description.

Okay, I'm going to use this space to recommend a very good fantasy series that isn't as well known as it should be. It's the Heir series by Cinda Williams Chima, the first book of which is The Warrior Heir. I highly recommend this book. It's like Twlight meets Harry Potter, has sex with Artemis Fowl and then does a crap load of crack. Yes, it's that damned good.

Prompt 64

Okay, today's prompt is a poetry prompt! Write a poem about ink. I totally stole this idea from both moonreader's blog (Inklings) and my high school lit mag title (Ink Splattered). So, let those poems come rolling in! (Especially those of you who specialize in poetry. *cough*moonreader*cough*Pandika*cough*)

Prompt 62

Good afternoon! I'm totally stealing today's prompt from a book I finished reading this morning. (Dead Het Boys - Mark A. Roeder)

Prompt 59

Today's prompt is dedicated to The Trevor Project. Write about a character who is planning on committing suicide. Why are they suicidal? Is someone able to help them?

Remember, suicide isn't the answer. If you're feeling suicidal, please find someone to talk to. There are plenty of suicide helplines you can call. If you need help finding one, feel free to send us a message and we'll try and help you find one. Try to talking to people in your life too, parents, siblings, cousins, friends, teachers, anyone.

EDIT: Okay, I just found this and had to share it. http://barrylyga.com/new/jackasses-attack-library.html You should all watch the video at the end of it. What happend to news reporters giving us facts? When did the news becomes "Give them an overload of your opinion then the facts." It's one thing to have a bit of your opinion slip in there now and then but what Vic Eliason does, takes it too far. Instead of just telling everyone what's going on at the library, he starts off with 5 minutes of saying how wrong and sick homosexuality is.

If any others out there find this wrong, please visit VCY America and tell them to keep their biased opinion out of the news.

This ends today's PSA. (For now...)

Prompt 58

Today, I finished reading Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. I'm going to borrow a quote from that book for today's prompt. "Everybody will remember him for those nineteen minutes, but what about the other nine million?" I really recommend everyone read that book. It will really open your eyes to what goes on inside our schools. Instead of forcing children to read Great Expectations and other books that are practically meaningless to the majority of the world, they should have to read books like this. Maybe then our would wouldn't be such a screwed up place.

Prompt 57

Hey guys! How are those submissions coming? Don't forget the April 18th deadline is coming up soon!

Today's prompt was suggested by a friend, Zombie, what would you do if you found yourself in the center of a meeting of the mafia, with nothing but knitting needles, some yarn, and a pet rabbit? And you were wearing a police uniform?

(Did MacGyver come to anyone else's mind?)

Prompt 56

Hey guys! RG here, I just got back from my trip to Jersey so I figured I'd do today's prompt! Thanks a bunch to Moonreader for posting a few while I was away. She has even been kind enough to stay on as a prompt poster. :D So now, you'll have more of a variety of prompts.

Since yesterday was St. Patrick's Day, I picked a St. Patty's Day prompt. For St. Patrick's Day, you decide to visit an Irish pub with your friend. During the night, you get involved in a fight. How did the fight start? Who won? Did a leprechaun beat you with a shillelagh?

For a nice example, check this out. 

Cheers!

Today's prompt is a rather odd one... Serial Killer Tennis. :D We were bored in #NaNoWriMo and started throwing Freddy and Jason at each other and batting them back and forth, thus serial killer tennis. SKT can refer to them playing or them being the "ball". :D Have fun!

"Serial Killer Tennis. What doesn't kill you, will only make you lose points." -- Cattieloves

**10 nonredeemable bonus points for the first person to write a story about SKT involving Freddy and Jason. :D **

Prompt 50

Look, we're up to 50 prompts! :D I finished a new book last night (well, actually 1:15am this morning) and I thought I'd share it with you. The book is Thinking Straight by Robin Reardon. It's about a boy, Taylor, is shipped off to Straight to God, a place where they claim to be able to cure gayness. Through the scripture, he tries to prove that homosexuality isn't a sin at all. It was a pretty good book, there were some downfalls in it - the IM lingo it used should have been cut out, and there were a few cliches - but over all it was a good read and a few good plot twists too! Oh, and don't forget to be sending in those submissions! We've got a couple, but we need some more! The deadline is April 18!

For today's prompt let's go with something nonfiction, write about your view point on homosexuality. Is it wrong? Is it a natural thing? Should people be more accepting? Is it really a sin? (If you say it's a sin, you better back it up with specific parts in the bible or whatever sacred document your religion uses.) :D

Prompt 49

Hey! How are you guys doing? I'm seriously adicted to Mark A. Roeder's Gay Youth Chronicles. I think I've spent more money on his books in the past week than I have on anything else. =[ I also found a new blog some of you might like, I'm Here. I'm Queer. What the Hell do I read? It's a cool blog that has books with GBLT teens as main characters.

Prompt 48

Gewd Afternewn. How bees you? I be gewd. I also be bored. Only a couple days until Spring Break! Whoo! I'm going to be heading back up to Jersey again, too. :D I finished another one of Mark A. Roeder's Gay Youth Chronicles last night, and I went to try and get a sample of the next book in the series, only to find out it's not available in Kindle/E-book format. *cries* The rest of the series is though. It's weird that a book in the middle of the series isn't available and the rest are....

Since I've been playing a lot of Mafia Wars on Facebook, I figured I'd used that as today's prompt. Write about the mafia. It can be able being in the mafia, trying to stop the mafia, someone being killed by the mafia, anything. And if you can write a poem about the Mafia, go right ahead...

Prompt 47

Hey guys, how do you like the new layout? I got bored with the old one so I decided to change it :D I also added a quote of the week on the bar to your right. *Has pretty girl in short dress point to it* That will be updated every Monday with a new writing related quote. I'm thinking off adding a couple of ads to the page with Google's Adsense thing. Would you guys mind? (Keep in mind, I retain the right to totally ignore your opinions :D)

Today, I'm working on a couple of book reviews so that's today's prompt. Use a book you either liked or disliked and write a review on it. It can be positive or negative, but remember, book reviews can't be in 1st person.

Prompt 46

Gewd morning all! How are your weekends going? I love this nice warm weather. :D I'm really starting to lose faith in romance novels. =[ Not only did the last one I read have sex every couple pages, but the two main characters had sex in front of a bunch of people in the middle of a clearing. AND a 26 year old "falls in love with" the main characters 14 year old brother. Like, wtf mate?

Today's prompt is another picture prompt. I hope it doesn't scare you too much...

Prompt 10

Prompt 09

Hey guys! I'm a little late posting today, but yeah. A few friends and I decided to go out to lunch then we went to the beach. =]

Today's Prompt is.... You and some friends decided to go to an amusement park. Everything was going fine until you go on one of the roller coasters. It breaks down! What happens? Do it stop at the top of a 100ft drop? Does it speed out of control? Do you live through it?

Prompt 08

Ugh. I really don't wanna be awake this morning. It took my 15 minutes before I was able to get out of bed...

As you go through everything you find some old antiques and at the bottom is another, smaller box. When you open it up you're surprised to find $40,000 neatly stacked inside. Write this scene.

Prompt 06

Gewd Morning all! Time for today's prompt! I'm gonna borrow from NCIS a little today. You wake up, only to discover that the person in bed next to you is not only, not the same person you went to sleep with, but they're dead. What's going on?

Prompt 05

Gewd Morning all! I'm in the process of getting ready to go to Bio 101 and figured I'd procrastinate a little and post today's prompt! So here it is!

Prompt 04

Gewd Morning/Afternoon/Night! Since I've found that a lot of people seem to have trouble writing in the POV of the opposite sex, I figured I'd make that today's prompt!

I'm going to borrow from Writer's Digest for today's prompt. Create a character that has an unusual phobia. Write a scene that causes that character to face his fear. The trick is, you have to write it from the POV of a character of the opposite sex. (If you're male, write from the POV of a female. If you're female, write from the POV of a male.)

Prompt 02

Hmmm... what should today's prompt be... I think I'll go with something classic.

Write about being stranded on an island. How did you get there? What do you have with you? Will you get off? Where will you get your food? Did you remember to feed the dog before you left?

Here's what I wrote based on this prompt: http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/topic43312.html

Prompt 01

Alright, since I haven't found too many places that offer decent prompts (that aren't silly and useless) I figured I'd start a small blog for them! So, each day, I'll post a different prompt for either prose or poetry. Any brave writers out there are welcomed to post their responses to the prompts here!

Even though it's late in the day (Like 11pm here) I figured why not start not and put up a prompt, so here it is!

Write about a conversation with a crazy neighbor. The neighbor could be crazy as in wacky, or they could be one of those scruffy guys on street corners raving about the Apocalypse.
