Free Writing can unlock our brains. It's a warm up much the same way athletes stretch before playing. Below are various prompts to write on this week. The directions are simple: Choose a prompt. Set a timer for 5 minutes Get paper and pen or use your computer (studies have shown, however, that there is a difference in the kinesthetic act of writing) Start writing and do not stop. DO NOT STOP Don't edit. Don't worry about spelling or grammar or punctuation. JUST WRITE. You will not be graded on anything other than doing it...so don't worry about ANYTHING that you may write. Have fun with this. Often, writers find a pearl after shucking a ton of 5 minute oysters. This week is fantasy prompts. In a world of advanced technological and magical advancements, one group keeps their practice of ancient spells a secret. One day, they are discovered and it leads to a fight. What is more powerful - old magic, or new technology? A large, protected national forest is secretly home to werewolves. One summer there is an especially bad flea epidemic, and the werewolves are greatly affected. The fleas from the werewolves infect the town water supply and start turning everyone into werewolves. The only ones not affected are children under 13. The world is overrun with vampires and humans are dying out. Different races and factions of vampires are beginning to go to war over the limited supply of human blood. Your character finds a strange looking egg in the forest. Thinking it will make a great decoration, they take it home. What hatches from that egg surpasses their wildest imagination. A city has spent centuries living in peace with the water-dwellers who reside in their lakes. Suddenly, the water dwellers declare war and no one knows why. Your character has always been able to alter their appearance. They hide unattractive features. Suddenly, their powers stop working and their true appearance is revealed. Your main character has a fascination with untouched societies - such as hidden tribes in the Amazon. She sets out to study them as a living. One day she accidentally allows herself to be seen by one of the members. What this person does is beyond what your character ever thought to be real.
