After my abject failure with National Novel Writing Month 2015 perhaps what I need to get back into the swing of things is to tackle a writing prompt or two.
Or I could just come up with a few more “interesting” ones of my own. And here they are!
- You and your nerdy friends suddenly find yourselves thrust into a real life Dungeons & Dragons adventure. Write about your daring exploits as you gouge evil from its shell. Actually, don’t write this. Don’t ever write this. Forget I even mentioned it. Did you start writing this? Well, stop. Right now. OK.
- After winning millions of dollars in the lottery you discover that money can’t buy happiness. But it can buy lots of really cool shit. Write about all that really cool shit.
- Explore the previously unknown connection between the horrifying visions of HP Lovecraft and the horrifying taste of HP Sauce.
- Write a story featuring the following items: a ball of yarn, the Hadron supercollider, a manic pixie-like woman and a giant wheel of cheese.
- A plate is knocked off a table and smashes into a thousand tiny pieces. Write from the perspective of each of the thousands of tiny pieces.
