Think of something that you really want… but for all intents and purpose can’t have. (I don’t like the word can’t.)
Now… write your argument on why you should have it. Give it the hard sell. Throw out your best sales pitch.
Happy Writing!

NaNoWriMo prompts – 13/30, 14/30, 15/30, 16/30
Sorry to have fallen behind…
13/30
Write from the perspective or your favorite super hero or villain (not their alter ego) ordering coffee from Starbucks.
14/30
Exercise your use of imagery. Describe something in a poem or prose without actually saying that that something is.
15/30
Create a bucket list for your character. Or create one for yourself and turn it into a poem or an essay.
16/30
Perform a brain dump. Take thirty minutes and just empty the entire contents of your brain onto some paper or into a word document. Do no editing. Do no formatting. Just write it all down. You can sort through it later.
Happy Writing!

NaNoWriMo prompts – 10/30
Write about your alter ego. If you want, you can describe both your Superman and your Clark Kent. Compare and contrast. You could write a love letter from one to the other. Or you could send hate mail.
Happy writing!!!

NaNoWriMo prompts – 7/30
Write a haiku/senryu about “the morning after”.
A haiku is a three line poem. The first line has 5 syllables, the second has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables.
Then write a longer piece interpreting the haiku/senryu in a totally different manner than you originally intended.

Nanowrimo Prompt ~ 6/30
You are in a grocery store/farmer’s market with the person you find yourself falling for.
Your vocal cords are not working.
There are no paper products to write on or with words that can express your feeling for you.
All you have is food and drinks.
How do you tell them how you feel?

FEAR…
Borrowed from: https://www.facebook.com/grammarly
Take some time to write something that you have been afraid to write, that something that has been on your mind but you just couldn’t bring yourself to put it down on paper. Write it! Make a note in your phone! Let whatever it is go and let it be what it wants to be! See if you feel any differently when it is done.

30 Days Hath November ~ Day 28
Give yourself some time today. Write for six separate 10 minute sessions. Try not to do them back to back. Put at the very least thirty minutes in between the sessions, and hour or two would be better.
Write about what the holiday season means to you. It can be any big holidays that you celebrate. If you don’t celebrate holidays, write about how other people’s holiday season affects you.
Each session should inform the next, but try and take things in a totally different direction each time. Use your favorite format or however can best allow you express what you need to express.
Happy Writing!

30 Days Hath November ~ Day 26 & 27
Write in a form you typically do not write in. Step out of your comfort zone. If you write long epic poems, pen your thoughts in a haiku. If you write fiction, write a short memoir piece. If you write non-fiction, exercise your imagination in a short story.
Need a topic: pigs flying
(This topic in honor of the fact that I may actually finish a novella during nanowrimo!)

30 Days Hath November ~ Day 24
Explain/describe an emotion without using the name of the emotion. For example if you are describing anger, you would find every way you can describe it with out using the words anger or angry.
