in the dark
moonlit escape by McBeth

I will come to you
In the still of the night
And I will crush you
With the burden of sight
And you will understand
The shadows in my heart
The fury of my conviction
Will cause your heart to quicken
And then, my dear
You will see you want me here
~~ Haunted — Jewel   ~~

What would your character do (your current one, an old MC, or a brand new one you create today) if s/he knew a stalker was in the house?

I want to go dark for the end of the week. I’m in that kind of mood….

Try to keep it about half the length of Suzanne’s prompt from yesterday. We’ve had so much advice lately (which has been fabulous), but I’ve missed the writing part of this blog. So have at it!!

I’ll post mine in the comments, as well.

Since winning her first writing competition at a young age, Eden Tyler, has only fallen more in love with the written word. She uses her English, Psychology, and Sociology backgrounds to create depth to her own stories and novels while contributing to and running websites about writing. This is what fulfills her, along with working as Co-Editor for Fuel Your Writing, but she also enjoys the freelance work that puts food on the table (and that ever-essential roof overhead) for her family.

Space the final frontier…

You’ve all heard these words many times. Right? So today, we’re writing about space. Whether it’s looking out you window and imagining yourself there, or your characters live there, doesn’t matter, you write the story about space.

Cone Nebula

The first picture is self explanatory, the second is of our solar system, and the third is Cone Nebula, located in the H II region in the constellation of Monoceros.

I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with in this writing exercise.

Where do your Dreams take you?

We all know how a scene or song can inspire us. How dreams can turn into a novel. So I want you to come up with something that can turn into the next best seller! Whether it be from an actual dream, or from one of the pictures, I don’t care, but write something related to a dream, and post your work here. No more than 500 words please.

Writing Free

There have been times when I’ve felt a need, a hunger to write, just to get something down on the page. It didn’t matter what, and so I would pick up a pen, open the notebook, and start writing.

Three months ago I was having one of those days. You know the kind, when frustrations number more than the breaths you take. Well, sitting there in the coffeeshop, I started writing and a story emerged. I didn’t expect it, didn’t know where it would take me, but I kept writing.

First there was lightning. Okay, that’s cool. So what happened then? There was a girl, running, trying to get rid of something. She wanted to bury it. Interesting. What did she have? A necklace. But it wasn’t an ordinary necklace. I wasn’t sure why yet, but I went with it, eventually getting to the point where the girl is struck by lightning and the necklace was fused to her skin, becoming part of her.

Wow. I’d never even thought of it before, and yet an entire story opened before me. Three weeks later, I had written a 50,000-word book with plans for two more.

And it started one night when I was so frustrated I would have screamed had I not had a pen and some paper handy.

———

Now, I want you to grab a pen and some paper or a notebook. (If you can write on a computer without going back to edit, that’s fine too.) Then start writing. Don’t think first. Just write.

Then, once you’ve got it all out of your system and the story ends or you have to stop to take a breath, I want you to come back here and tell us what happened.
