Pumping Iron, Running a Marathon, and Prompts
Prompts are about creativity, trying new things, and exploring your talents. They are meant to stimulate storytelling, make you stretch and hone your craft, and practice things you aren't comfortable doing. For example, I don't like writing dialogue. I always feel like it's somehow stilted or unnatural. My tendency then would be to avoid dialogue using it sparingly if at all. However, using your words is like exercising a muscle. It will only get better with use.
So here are a couple of prompts that made me squirm while doing my mental calisthenics.
Prompt #129 - Create a vignette or story using only one side of a conversation you're overhearing.
Prompt #130 - Invent a new word, explain its origin, definition, how it's used and the context for it and make that into a story or vignette.
