Hump Day Kick Start – Writing Prompt #26
Writing prompts to kick-start your muse.
What would you do? Step into the twilight zone? How could you not!
Tell about today’s prompt. How could everyone look like him? Where are they going? Why does he need to arm himself? Is there a government takeover? A science experiment gone horribly wrong? Has a pandimensional war broken out and they must save the worlds? Have his friends decided it was time to take him wardrobe shopping? Are they on their way to a Matrix-style costume party?
Share your ideas and/or post your creations, even if it’s just a line or two. I’d love to hear them.

Hump Day Kick Start – for your muse, a writing picture prompt, or ju st a visual treat.
Why so serious?
Who is today’s prompt? What’s going on? Is he be a private investigator or an assassin on a deadly mission? Does he have eyes on his target? Maybe he’s casing his next jewelry heist or stalking his ex. Has he been assigned to protect an annoyingly beautiful and sexy heiress/princess/scientist/hacker but is contemplating running her bratty, defiant ass over? Could he be steeling himself from the predator-like PTO moms as he sits in the car line waiting to pick up his second-grader from school? Is he your next Uber driver?
What’s your take? Tell me a tale or caption the pic. I’d love to hear from you.

Hump Day Kick Start – Writing Prompt #25

I’m kinda loving this prompt. Who is the main character? An alien? A mythological goddess? A dragon? Is the human male or female? Why are humans considered dangerous? Because of advanced warfare? The spread of pathogens? Seduction and sins of man? Why had the human been captured? For research? To save a dying species? For food? Breeding? For ransom? The possibilities are limitless!
Share your ideas and/or post your creations, even if it’s just a line or two. I’d love to hear them.

Hump Day Kick Start – for your muse, a writing picture prompt, or ju st a visual treat.
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Or as my hubby calls it — Commercialism Day. So in honor of the special day, I give you today’s prompt. Who is our couple? New lovers blossoming over bubbly? Old friends rekindling a romance? Are they celebrating the holiday or something more personal, like an anniversary, a closed deal, or a successful heist? What if this was a seductive powerplay by rival lawyers, a Hollywood mogul, or an international spy.
What’s your take? Tell me a tale or caption the pic. I’d love to hear from you.

Hump Day Kick Start – Writing Prompt #24
Writing prompts to kick-start your muse.
E.T. phones home for today’s prompt. Are these creatures really from outer space? If so, who are they and where are they going? Are they intergalactic plant-to-planet vacuum cleaner salesmen? Could they be a part of the Rebel Force? On their way to a party hosted by Marvin the Paranoid Android? What if they’re not aliens at all. Maybe they are cosplay fans driving an SUV decked out as a rocket ship and took a wrong turn. Or government agents with their latest “catch”. And what does our guy who has stumbled upon the scene do?
Share your ideas and/or post your creations, even if it’s just a line or two. I’d love to hear them.

The destinations are endless.
Who are our prompts today? Vagabonds? Wayward teens? Adventurers? Where are they going? Wherever the tracks lead them?

Who is after them? The good guys or the bad? Why? Had they gotten themselves wrapped up in a scandal or murder? Could they just be protesting the high cost of a train ticket?
What’s your take? Tell me a tale or caption the pic. I’d love to hear from you.

Link of the Week – Cell Phone Battery Fires
I’m pretty sure that if I ever got lost in the wilderness, I’m not going to last long, especially if it gets cold. I’m by no means a city girl and I’d put in a [image error]good effort. But…the cold. Yeah, I’m like one of those frozen lizards falling out of the trees in Florida. Can’t. Move. Must conserve energy. I’m just useless. But should I ever find myself stranded in the unforgiving boonies without the proper essentials, I might be able to start a fire with my cell phone to keep warm.
The Art of Manliness is once again looking out for us with another great survival tip with starting a fire using a cell phone battery.
