April Writing Prompt

This month's prompt is the same as last month's, with the addition of a "your choice" option. Why? Because setting is so important. In my opinion, setting is what most often seperates the good books from the excellent books. Too many children's book writers scrimp on setting. Don't be one of them. Take the challenge:

This month's challenge is all about setting! Write a short story/chapter/poem/whatever that takes place at one of the following locations:

1. The subway.
2. A farm.
3. Near water or on water.
4. At a fast food restaurant.
5. The desert.
6. Your choice.

Remember, this challenge is about setting. Make us feel like we're there.

Have fun!

(Post your responses in Share Your Work. Remember to drop a note in this thread letting us know you've done so.)

Excellent.

I still have to rise to the challenge myself...

Well, good. But so you know, you never have to trash your work anyway! I myself have posted "belated" prompt responses.

Haven't had a chance to read your response, yet, sissy, but I will soon, promise.

heza (and everyone else!), your response can be as belated as you like. You can go through all the old prompts, if you like (there's a sticky). I don't think anyone will mind one bit if they see a thread in SYW labeled "Belated November 2010 Prompt Response". In fact, I think that'd be pretty darn cool. The prompts were created to inspire folks to write; there's no expiration date for that.
