Stories will not be written easily. A story without a heart is dead, and the only place it will get a heart is from the author.

Writing Prompt: 02-13-2015

Recently, I got an email from someone suggesting (what I should have come up with myself a long while ago) that I try some writing prompts in a different format – namely, songs.

Songs are quiet possibly the most inspiring thing when it comes to writing. Therefore, throughout the normal writing prompts, expect to find the occasional song on some weeks.

OriginLove Does, by Brandon Heath. And because YouTube is sometimes fantastic, I was able to find the official lyric video (in short: this video is legal, folks. Don’t be concerned about it). Many thanks to Brandon Heath for putting his song on YouTube! (You can purchase the song here, if you would like.)

Feeling inspired? Write something from this prompt! You can leave a response here, or move the prompt to your blog and leave a link in the comments. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

I would also love to hear what you think about the new prompt format.

Please do keep responses clean.

Writing Prompt: 12-05-2014

I do realize that it’s very late for a writing prompt (or early for some of you). This afternoon when I would have normally posted it, I opened up my IOTW document and got completely distracted by reading through my novel. I didn’t even remember it was a Friday at all until about thirty minutes ago. Better late than never though, right?

 

Origin“Eowyn vs. The Witch King,” by Nacho Molina. I know neither this artist nor her work, so if you decide to look her up, I  advise caution.
