Writing Prompts to Build a Community

Complete a story, poem or part of a memoir of no more than 100 words using daily prompts to share on this blog or elsewhere. Just post it as a comment. Writing prompts are a good way to keep your creative juices flowing and to practice writing skills – such as descriptions, dialogue, scene, monologues, etc.
The way writing prompts work is the prompt sentence, phrase or word must be either used in the piece or be a theme of the piece and is completed in one sitting. It should be completed in no more than five minutes. Editing can be done after the initial write. A new prompt will be posted daily starting November 23, 2012.
The criteria:
1.     No more than 100 words2.     Fiction, poetry or memoir3.     No explicit sex4.     No constant profanity5.     Must be the original work of the person posting6.     Be open to honest critique
Anything not following the above criteria will not be posted or will be deleted.
The intent for this:
1.     To practice writing with short and continual exercises2.     To meet other writers3.     Possibly get critiqued4.     You may include a link to your blog, webpage or book for sale5.     100 words is enough to keep you fresh without bogging you down6.     Building a gracious writing community is a beautiful thing
Although you don't have to join this blog to post your piece, once a week or every other week, depending on how busy things are, I will choose a winning piece of someone who has joined this blog to highlight. If the winner has a webpage, blog or book, and if they so desire, a write-up will be posted along with the winning piece.
Let's keep writing and sharing to build this community!
