Adventures in Crafting with Words

One of my friends was gifted this awesome 400 writing prompts book for Christmas.  Naturally, I needed it. So his wife told me where I got it and I went to my local branch and looked all over the story for that book of 400 writing prompts.  I'd even settle for the book of 300 writing prompts. But nope.  I had to settle for this one... Whatever.  *shrugs shoulder* 'But,' the little voice in the back of my head challenged me, 'what if you use this book to help you with the plethora of stories you are struggling with?' 'And,' another voice agreed, 'you use them for your writing prompt blog posts... The catch with these prompts:  there is only one page to write and there are a handful of words that must be added into the scene.   For this scene I brought in Winnie from Half-Moon Manor.  I've been pondering her story for a while now, and she volunteered for the prompt.  And now...

I know, I know.  I missed Writing Prompt Wednesday.  I've been busy getting ready for an Arts and Crafts show on Saturday.  I also knew that there was 70% chance of rain today.  If you want to see the blog post for my Overthinker Creates account just look to your left for the link.  It should read Etsy Shop Blog.  Today's writing prompt is courtesy of WritingPrompt.com @DailyPrompt on Twitter.  It began - A green glow could be seen in the cave.  Curious, they entered.    I kinda like what I did with that prompt so I might add more to it later.  And now... The Prompt  _____             A green glow could be seen in the cave.   Curious, they entered.   They never expected that the cave was emitting the glow in an attempt to pull the unsuspecting into its grasp.               Within mom...

WritingPrompt.com  @DailyPrompt The date was going well until he proposed.   It wasn’t the best of proposals.   He hadn’t gotten down on one knee.   There was the ring she had already told him that she hated.   They were in a crowded restaurant and every single eye was focused on her, waiting with bated breath for her answer. Panic raced up her spine.   A choking feeling clogged her throat.   Trembling started at her hands and climbed up her arms.   The room felt as if it was closing on in her.   Sobbing she raced to the restroom, leaving him there stunned.   Things had not got exactly as he’d intended.   Reviewing what he’d said and done through his mind, Jared realized a few things.   One – He wasn’t on a date with Rachel.   Two – Sarah was not an outgoing person and a public proposal was not the way to go.   Three – He never should have started dating identical twins.   Pulling out hi...

"On Wednesday's we wear pink." Okay, okay.  Maybe not.  I only wear one pink shirt anyway.  But, my love of alliteration causes me to want to say... On Wednesday's we do writing prompts.    Fill free to share your own in the comments below. * http://www.writersdigest.com/prompts/wedding-crashers You are standing at the altar waiting to marry the person of your dreams. The preacher says, “Should anyone here present know of any reason that this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace.” You smile at your soon-to-be spouse, ready to get on with the vows. Suddenly—just like the movies—the chapel doors burst open. “I object!” You turn to see who dared to interrupt your day. It’s your ex. Finish the scene.
