I especially like that it offers solid definitions, explanations and advice without a lot of attitude or snobbery.the authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220786472896283714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-50718383998284227422010-06-27T11:57:55.620-04:002010-06-27T11:57:55.620-04:00Fantastic.

I loved what you did with each of your prompts, and how each piece had its own feel.<br /><br />I've eyed this set before, and now I know I'll have to have it.

I...I LOVE the last lines of your poem. Too funny! <br /><br />I have a small group who did a once a week writing prompt thing. I'd send the prompt and they had the week to send back whatever they could write from it. We haven't done that in almost a year because life got difficult for a couple of them, but I've been thinking of restarting it. This would be a good thing to use.<br /><br />And I agree! Finish the 'pearls' story!nightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-54177402817209898052010-06-27T11:17:07.311-04:002010-06-27T11:17:07.311-04:00Gosh, I'd love to try this!

Teacher would give us a paper with a bunch of little pictures on it and we'd have to write a story about three of them. Sometimes she'd make it even more challenging by saying the three different pictures represented the beginning, middle and end of the story. It was fun, but I was almost the only one in class who enjoyed it. :pKeita Harukanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-3769629513451902052010-06-27T04:53:34.967-04:002010-06-27T04:53:34.967-04:00I need to put together some writing prompts!

I do get pretty good results playing with Tarot cards; every card in the tarot tells a story and represents a hero's journey point, so you can pull any card and write a story about it, or use it to write a scene for your characters.Charlene Tegliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483186891214783397noreply@blogger.com
