Writing Prompts #256 & #257

Uh oh, is it Friday already? Where did the week go? I swear I was, well, never mind. So here we are again ladies and gents about to face another weekend. Some of us just keep right on going about our lives while others are preparing for school or have just returned. Before everyone is overwhelmed, well, I have a few things for you to look over and consider. Might you have time to write one more little story? It is prompt time.   Prompt 256 – Creative Tag - List of Words Use the following in a

Time for me to torture, I mean um, tease you with some new ideas for prompts.   Prompt 254 – Creative Tag – First Line “Since when is that acceptable?”   Prompt 255 - Creative Tag – Kidnapped It is everyone’s worst nightmare. You have gone on vacation and decide to go out and see this new place at night.

Ah another Friday has arrived and you all know what that means ... I get to torture you with a new set of ideas to get you writing. Every week is a surprise and I never know when someone is going to take up the challenge and post one of the prompts. Last week, Kitt didn't even bother to post her tale in the thread for it but put it right up on the Prompt Me! page. Okay enough chatter out of me, here are this weeks prompts.   Prompt 240 – Creative Tag – List of Words Use the following words in

I'm back! Did you miss me? Last week the prompts were interrupted by our Roll The Dice Anthology going live. I do hope you took the time to read them all and leave the authors a review.   Anyway I have some nice new ideas to get your mind going and hopefully find you writing again. So for your writing possibilities I present these two new ideas.   Prompt 238 - Creative   Tag - The Offer   You haven't been on a date in months and truthfully, you've let work take over your life.

Friday, Thank God .... well it is Friday so that means it is time for the prompts again. Hope everyone has had a great week so far. Time for me see what sort of draw I can get with this week's choices for writing prompts. Take a gander and see if either of them appeal to you.   Prompt 234 – Creative Tag – Insomnia After four long days of non-sleep you are beginning to feel like you are going to lose it.

Well it is Friday again and I thought I would slip in for a change and actually introduce the prompts myself. I guess after a hundred plus attempts to catch an author's attention this might help.   You know, like anyone else I enjoy reading what others have done with the prompts. For our experts this is a just a chance to flex those writing muscles, and for the newbie it is simply a chance to get some feedback on something you wrote. These can be flash fiction pieces, poetry, or whatever you d

Make sure you share in the Writing Prompt Forum!   Prompt 226 – Creative Tag – The Lover You finally have found the perfect mate. Someone who listens to you, shares your tastes in music and art, loves your movies. However they have just one small flaw.

I've talked about our GayAuthors.org community many times, but I have to say, in seeing some recent comments and posts - I am once again just so privileged to be a part of GA. A few years ago, when Myr asked me to be the Member Advocate and among other tasks, help support and foster the community here, I immediately said yes and have had no regrets since.   One of the great ways I see the community coming together is weekly here with our Friday writing prompts, courtesy of the great Comicfan.

Hey folks! It's that time again, prompt time! We have 2 more creative prompts from our resident flash inspiration guru, Comicfan. 218 is right up my alley so I'm going to try to do something for it later this week, I think. Site flash fiction is something I have, to my embarrassment, been neglecting. It's a cool little way to inspire authors to write-even if it's just something small and fun. You can do a 30 word poem, or a 100 word microflash, or an under 1k regular flash, or a prompt could ins

Not just because its the start to the weekend, but because every Friday our resident prompt guru Comicfan brings us two new prompts! I couldn't tell you how many of these prompts I have started writing something for only to decide it needs to be continued. I have at least six prompts began on my computer. Maybe one these days I'll get them finished. Until then though, check out the new prompts and share them in the
