Hello all you Flash Fiction fanatics,
I am new here, as you can tell from my low low post numbers
. One of my favorite authors does a weekly podcast called Writing Excuses. (Shameless plug: www.writingexcuses.com) where he and some of his friends, published authors all, and periodic guests talk about all aspects of writing. One of the things they do every podcast is a writing prompt, to get their listeners (mostly aspiring authors) to keep writing. Each week their prompt is usually based on something they mentioned in the podcast. I thought it would be fun to do one here in these forums. Each week I (or any of you if you have a good idea for a prompt you feel like sharing) will give a writing prompt. I think it would be fun and interesting to see what we all come up with using the same prompt.
Some ground rules. Since this is the flash fiction forum, 1000 words or less. In addition to a topic or prompt, I may give guidelines or twists to help fuel our creativity. Each monday I will add another writing prompt (well I'll do my best to make it the same day everyday) unless another poster has already written a prompt for that week. I personally will try to have my flash piece done by saturday or so, in order to give others a chance to critique the piece before the next round.
Hopefully many of you will enjoy this idea and participate. The writing prompt for this week:
You hear a knock on your door, on your doorstep is a box. Although its not raining the box is wet and drooping.
That's it. I hope you enjoy.
