Writing Prompt #5

I'm a little excited about this prompt. When I opened the book for this one (I think it was a novelized movie script) and saw this line, I knew I had to write it down. There's so many directions you could go with this, no matter what genre you write. Perhaps it's because this prompt is only one word.

Writing Prompt #4

This next batch of prompts comes from the top floor of the University of Arizona library. After my internship I wander through the shelves, selecting random books and writing the sentences that stand out to me. It makes for great thinking material.

Writing Prompt #3

I guess now that I'm on the third prompt that they aren't quite "prompts." If it were a prompt it would tell you what to write, but these don't do that. I still like to think of them as prompts, though, because when I read them I think of what I would say next and how this chosen line would become a story. What characters would say these things? For me, the fact that it gets me thinking about things I could write makes it a prompt.

Writing Prompt #1

This is the first of my writing prompts, courtesy of the UA Poetry Center. I think what struck me is that a line like this existed in a book with that title (hence why I included the title).
