Daily Writing Challenge

Browsing on the internet for prompts and challenges is a challenge in itself. Sometimes searches yield gems, treasure troves of inspiration, and other attempts result mermaid's purses dangling off the hook, or even old boots.

As I sifted through sites, blogs, boards and articles, I found Nighthag's Corner which had a number of prompts each day to choose from, giving you the freedom to stay in your own comfy little niche or to branch out into other genres and styles.

For December 14th, the prompts were as follows:

Daily story starter

Write a short story of at least 750 words using the following opening sentence
     He was going to be late home again...
     They were searching house to house

Writing theme

Write a poem or short story of at least 750 words inspired by one of the following themes
     Red dress
     Hanging tree


And the last... (which I chose for today)

Picture prompt

Write a poem inspired by the picture below

Words adrift

And sentences lost

Paragraphs twisted

            On a floating page

Crushed pulp

And dried sheets

Bound together

            Into a novel

Books

…of truth

…of lies

…of heartbreak

Of the unknown future

So, what would you write today? :)
