Description:

This is a writing prompt swap, the second in a series based on writing prompt in the book "Story Starters." See below for author info.

Write a scene or a story using any one of the following prompts:

a) Your character inherited 500 acres of rich farmland in Kansas, USA.

b) Your character is asked to house-sit for someone who will be in Europe for six months. It changes her life.

c) Something magical happens to your character on a ski slope.

Send two partners a typed copy of your scene or story.

Snail mail. International. Group membership

SPECIAL NOTE:

This swap is based on an exercise in a great book that I encourage you to read, especially those who love writing prompts.

"Story Starters" by Lou Willett Stanek, Ph.D. ISBN 0-380-79552-3

The sub-title of the book is: "How to jump-start your imagination, get your creative juices flowing, and start writing your story or novel."

I bought it several years ago, so I'm not sure if there's an updated edition, but that's the ISBN on my copy.

My scene is on the way to my partners. Like the #1 swap, I think this scene may turn into something more. :)
