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!
