Description:

This is a writing prompt swap, the third 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 finds a note on the fridge. It says, "Your brother and I have fallen in love. We are going to Alaska. I am sorry."

b) She/he refused to open the registered letter. She/he knew what was in it.

c) Your character's name is Hope. She has just moved to the city. She's homesick and broke when she meets a man in the park who promises to solve all her problems.

Send a partner 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.

I like these story starters! I'm putting it on my waiting list until closer to sign up time.

Thank you for book recommendation. I found a few others written by same author and bought them all!!!) English is my second language, to improve my writing skills I decided to join this swap (and a few others...). I hope my partner will bear with me...
