EXERCISE: WOW: Inktober?
Original Posting 10/3/2019
This is really aimed at artists drawing in ink, but... over on their site (https://inktober.com/), they have a list of the daily one word prompts. Seems almost as if you could take one or more of the words for this week, and write a story? I mean, look at the first seven... 1. Ring 2. Mindless 3. Bait 4. Freeze 5. Build 6. Husky 7. EnchantedGo ahead, let each of those words trickle through the little grey cells, and see what else pops up. Do they crisscross and connect? Who is that peeking around the corner? What, there's a problem hiding in there?Consider writing a scene that shows us what that word conjures up for you? Go ahead, make us feel that mindless horror, or the squeaking of the beat, or maybe the fear and trembling as someone yells, "FREEZE!"?Feel free to use the words to prompt some stories! Here, I'll give you the whole list. 1. Ring 2. Mindless 3. Bait 4. Freeze 5. Build 6. Husky 7. Enchanted 8. Frail 9. Swing 10. Pattern 11. Snow 12. Dragon 13. Ash 14. Overgrown 15. Legend 16. Wild 17. Ornament 18. Misfit 19. Sling 20. Tread 21. Treasure 22. Ghost 23. Ancient 24. Dizzy 25. Tasty 26. Dark 27. Coat 28. Ride 29. Injured 30. Catch 31. RipeThere you go. A prompt a day, or mix and match? Go for it!
