day thirty

November 30, 2011

And we’re done with another NaBloPoMo! What did I learn?

  • Coming up with an interesting writing prompt each day for 30 days is challenging.
  • The internet has more shitty writing prompts then interesting ones.

For serious. Let’s look at some of the ones that I decided not to use:

Describe your dream vacation.

You only get three crayons to make your picture. Which do you choose?

Animal face-off! Who would win in a fight between a wild turkey and a small pig?

Write a brief piece of fiction using the prompt “Yo-yo.”

I guess that, if you’re a talented writer, you could take any prompt asking for your favorite place to get a cup of coffee or a story about when you had to return a purchase and turn it into something entertaining. But I have nothing worth saying when told to discuss what color I feel like today. So please stop asking.

    I think the only point in asking a talented writer one of those writing prompts is to see what they do with a shitty writing prompt. Two and three are especially bad.

    Congrats on finishing!
