Happy weekend, writers!
The very day after writing last week's note about
the winter doldrums, I caught the flu. Ain't that a kick in the head? Which is what this particular flu often feels like.
So I don't have a discussion topic or a question for us this week; instead, I
have a game.
Something to get your creative juices flowing if you're stuck in the winter writing doldrums too, or to give yourself a fun break if you've been killing it with your writing
project(s).
So I put on my spelunking gear and made a journey into the darkest recesses of the back end of our website to once again bring you some of the most ridiculous fragments of sp*m caught by our stalwart
sp*m filter.
Write a story using, as your opening line, one of five fragments, which include gems like "Florida has doled out roughly
$1" and "I would rather follow fragrant China."
Enter as many times as you wish by leaving your story in the comments section of the post. Bonus points for using all five prompts. And I
don't quite know what the exact prize is yet, but it will involve a book or books.
