Instead of our usual monthly critique session meeting, this month the members of the Stop-Watch Gang are participating in a writing weekend.
To motivate those who might be inspired by writing prompts, I sent along the list below. I was inspired by the letter "W". For all of you writers out there who might wish to spend the weekend writing, feel free to use these prompts.
Using the five senses…
Taste – wasabi, watermelon, waffles
Touch – wool, water, wicker
Smell – wildfire, waste, war
Sight – wilderness, winner, wrench
Sound – waves, wheeze, wreck
Using Words…
A quote by Virginia Woolf: “If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.”
(In other words, speak your truth, fellow writers, and write about what you know.)
A quote by William Wordsworth: “Fear is a cloak which old men huddle about their love, as if to keep it warm.”
A quote by H.G. Wells: “Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature’s inexorable imperative.”
Using visual prompts, follow the links below…
“Wolf Moon” by Andrew Wyeth
“The Wall” by Brett Whitely
“Wild Raspberries” by Andy Warhol
Using auditory prompts, follow the links below…
The song “Waste” by the band Staind
The song “We Don’t Have to Look Back Now” by Puddle of Mudd
