Description:

This is a writing prompt swap, the fifth in a series based on writing prompt in the book "Story Starters." See below for author info.

Write a scene or a story using any one of the following prompts:

a) Your character looks in the mirror, grimaces, and remembers the day, 20 years ago, when she was crowned Miss America.

b) Your character remembers his drill sergeant in boot camp from 20 years ago. He would still like to knock his block off. Then, one night, he sees him standing at the bar.

c) Your character remembers the first night her 16-year-old brother crawled into bed with her in the middle of the night.

Send two partners a typed copy of your scene or story.

Snail mail. International. Group membership

SPECIAL NOTE:

This swap is based on an exercise in a great book that I encourage you to read, especially those who love writing prompts.

"Story Starters" by Lou Willett Stanek, Ph.D. ISBN 0-380-79552-3

The sub-title of the book is: "How to jump-start your imagination, get your creative juices flowing, and start writing your story or novel."

I bought it several years ago, so I'm not sure if there's an updated edition, but that's the ISBN on my copy.

Hi guys. sorry about the delay. I overlooked this one before I went out. I've assigned partners and moved the send by date to Nov. 11.
