    No more Secrets, right?

    By Aditus

    We know who wrote which story and won this year’s contest. Congratulations Gary L. And now? Watching the horizon thoughtfully and waiting for inspiration to strike? Or you could write a prompt story and maybe expand it…. PT Prompt #354 What if you could make objects talk? Heinrich Heine’s quill, for example. (I just saw it at a museum.) Which object would you choose, and what does it tell you?  PT Prompt #355 Five friends are playing a board game. After a while, they roll num

There was a plan- 010425

You know the game, right? You make a plan, you maybe even announce it, and then you get nothing of said plan done. Yeah. My general plan was to write on Emmett and Finley so we get their story done, but hey, after stary at a blank page for half an hour I closed the document and turned to other things. For example to our cursebreaker Dust, who got some updates. But also to Riley and Cedric. Yes, moth and butterfly are still fluttering around. In their story is a lot of stuff happening i

E.C.T.

ECT (electroconvulsive therapy)can be an effective albeit last resort treatment for suicidal ideation.  When my husband came to me to say he'd discussed this treatment option with his psychiatrist, I was at once afraid and sad. ECT had been discussed several years ago. It was left behind on the table in favour of other treatments.  The other treatments which worked had slowly, over the years, become less effective. tim told me that the voices that urged him to take his life had become stron

Weekly Wrap Up (Mar. 23 - Mar. 59)

THEY LIED    2 - 4 cm my derriere!!! (Don't see that word used much anymore) I wake up and have to leave the house to find about 10" of the white stuff fell overnight. Thinking I had a lot of time to get to my first appointment  I didn't really get up early enough to go 4X4ing through the snow and slush that covered the roads. No plows, no sanding, it is the joy of living in Calgary at the end of March and through April. It is warm enough that most of the snow melts within 24 hours or

This is the end... The Story

Let me recap the prompt. We provided the ending of a story, and you had to work backward to its beginning using the comments. The result is a 3.5k words long story. Yep, you read right, 3.5k. You hit it out of the park, guys. Since this is a bit long to copy/paste into a blog entry, we’ve invited a new member to GA:  The Prompter.  We’re counting on future bouts of fantastic creativity, and this will also make it easier to find these wonderful prompt collaborations.
