Prompt 65

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*)

For those of you who live near Philly (or like to travel) check out this gay rights rally. http://www.nationalequalityrally.com/nationalequalityrally/ I'm probably gonna go with some of my friends.

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)

While walking through the halls, you come across a boy standing in the middle of the hallway. What's the catch you ask? He's naked and headless.

Have fun!

Monday, March 23, 2009

Prompt 61

Howdy. How is everyone doing today? For today's prompt, start off a story with the sentence "Dude. Those are ovaries." I tried to come up with something random. :D Thank you, Nutella for the inspiration.

Sunday, March 22, 2009

Prompt 60

Hey guys! Don't forget, the deadline for submissions in on April 18th! For those of you who are coming late to the party, you can find more information on Prompt 30.

For today's prompt, come up with twenty words that end with "ch" and use all of them in a story. Have a good day, everyone!

Saturday, March 21, 2009

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.

Thursday, March 19, 2009

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?

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?


--Kiss me, I'm Irish.

Hey! I'm now in a crappy hotel in New Jersey. Life doesn't get much better than this.... (Yes, that was sarcastic.) I am so danged tired right now. I woke up at 8AM yesterday and haven't been to sleep yet. Damned parents...

Today's prompt: write about finding a dragon egg. (Yeah, I stole it from Eragon. Sue me.) What happens when it hatches? Does it hatch? Do you pawn it for cash and it comes back to kill you for it? :D

Prompt 51

Good morning! One more day until I fly up to New Jersey for a week! Don't worry, I'll still be posting prompts... (Hopefully I can get a "guest poster" to do it for me... *pokes moonreader*)

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.

For today's prompt, write about a character that runs away from home. Where do they go? Why'd they run? Who do they meet along the way? How do they survive?

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...

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.

Sunday, March 8, 2009

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?
