Writing Prompts #388 & #389


Another Friday is here and with it comes your weekly dose of writing prompts! Don't forget, if you decide to tackle one of today's prompts, to post a link to it in the Prompt Forum! I check the threads for the previous weeks prompts when I'm looking for a prompt to feature. Also, please remember that flash fiction under 1K cannot be posted as it's own story and needs to be posted as part of a collection. Happy writing!

 

Prompt 388 – Creative
Tag – First Line
“Snow? Again? How much more are they expecting?”

 

Prompt 389 – Creative
Tag – Do you want to build a snowman?
You’ve just watched it snow for the past three days and feel like you have cabin fever. After shoveling your way out you realize there is no way your street will be cleared for at least a day or two. Stuck surrounded by feet of snow what do you do to help pass the time?

 

Today I decided to feature a prompt response which shows that prompt responses don't have to be more than a handful of words to meet the criteria set in the designated prompt. Here is Carlos Hazday's response to Prompt #386:


I would like to note that dealing with an angry teenager is similar to balancing an elephant on a bright pink balloon--easy as pie. NOT!

Two snowy prompts this week.  I could have used Prompt 389 when we got that eight feet dumped on us in November!  I may be writing two prompts this week.  I have ideas brewing for both.  :)

Very nice, Carlos!  My oldest son tried to do this with his weekly spelling words many years ago.

Thank you all! Yesterday was a pretty darn good day as far as my GA involvement is concerned, I went to bed a happy pup. And then I just read this and it blew my mind. I read yesterday's prompt without reading the entire post by Renee and just went at it. I'm going to have to pay attention from now on!

 

I was trying to use as few words as possible to create an image incorporating the five in the prompt. I took me a few tries to edit it down, wanted 25 or less but settled for 26. The elephant on the balloon thing was probably a flashback to my partying day.

 

Thanks again!

Rather brilliant, I would say... and I'm guessing your partying days were probably a week ago? :)

A week ago? I'm not convinced they're actually over... ;)
