prompts!

I’ve had a bunch of prompt ideas floating around in my head, for fiction or non-fiction and so thought I’d share them. Be sure to let us know if you use any of them!

  • a moment of truth
  • and I’d give up forever to touch you
  • There’s always pressure, from other people and yourself. We keep thinking up new things and finding better ways of doing things because we’re not happy with what we’re given.
  • I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.
  • Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
  • the lies we tell ourselves to make it through the day./li>
  • so this is how the world ends.
  • how to say no.

I love how Dubai looks nearly-fictional; it’s surreal in it’s futurism. Today’s writing challenge: do something outside your realm of reality: write about a new place, something outside your comfort zone, or a future you can’t imagine yet.

canisfamiliaris: Save The English Language! The editors of Oxford University Press and the Oxford English Dictionary are concerned about all of the wonderful words in English that are ‘disappearing’ from the language from lack of use. So, they’ve come up with a great solution: Adopt a Word. It’s free to adopt a word, the words are old and weird and fun to use, you can buy a t-shirt with your word on it (only if you wish; it’s not a requirement), and you can choose your adopted word! All you agree to, in adopting your word, is to use it! You can spray paint it on a wall, use it in a meeting, win a game of Scrabble with it, or even walk around town wearing a sign-board/sandwich-board with your word on it! (Or, you could wear the aforementioned t-shirt, if you want!) I adopted the word foppotee, which is appropriate here, since only a simpleton wouldn’t want to adopt a word and help save the English language, right?

"I want to live the rest of my life, however long or short, with as much sweetness as I can decently manage, loving all the people I love, and doing as much as I can of the work I still have to do. I am going to write fire until it comes out of my ears, my eyes, my nose holes — everywhere. Until it’s every breath I breathe. I’m going to go out like a fucking meteor!"

— Audre Lorde (via creativedreadhead) | Please please please. All I want to do. | (via play-loud)

"I like the stars; it’s the illusion of permanence. I can pretend that things last; that lives last longer than moments."
