Hey guys! It's Sunday, which means it's prompt time! I got awesome responses last week from DDG (twice!), Katana, Magnus Lensherr, and SomeGuy, not to mention Nehszriah, filling out a prompt from two weeks ago. (Which is totally more than allowed, by the way. If an earlier prompt strikes your fancy more, go for it.) If I haven't left you feedback yet, I will as soon as I get home tonight.
And here are your standard reminders before we start this week's fun. Remember that these prompts are not specific questions to be answered. They are just words, phrases, and ideas that are meant to jumpstart your creativity. It's wonderful if your response ties in closely with the prompt, if that's the idea you have, but it's equally wonderful if its relevance to the prompt is just some odd leap you made in your head. If you want to play but you're having trouble, think of it as word association. Read each prompt over, write down the first sentence that comes to mind for each, and run with one of those!
This week's prompts are:
1. Write about an injury.
2. "If I were you, I'd be ready to die of embarrassment."
3. For the novel writers: describe your setting.
4. The most useful thing you've ever bought.
5. "Someone is using my ______."
