Black Water... (Writing Prompts)

Writing Prompts

Every single week.

We'll be here.

With a prompt.

If you need it.

Even if you don't, we'll be publishing writing prompts each week to inspire something for someone. Most weeks a voice raises itself and we're delighted by wee stories, delicious tiny tales prompted from that week's prompts.

Black Water... (Writing Prompts)

From last week's Start over
"'Do you mind?!' The merman snapped……freckles, dusted
across the merman’s nose and cheeks like blue and green stars"
*
"Sherlock, a stone’s throw away and sitting contently on a garden
bench, watched his little family. Who knew his life could be so full of love?"
*
"the pebbles in my left hand are slowly getting warm as they take
some of my body heat…Suddenly I feel a shadow fall and a presence next to me"

We Wanna Prompt Your Writing But…

…we also want to create a bit of a community. A group of people who gather most weeks, see one another's names, read one another's short stories, learn each other's voices.

I know I need community now, all sorts, and if you do as well, well here we are.

Jump in my friends, the writing water is fine and the prompts are hot off the press!

P.S. Anything you write here is all yours, we have no ownership of it whatsoever.

P.P.S. After not writing for weeks I found inspiration to pen something for my own prompt, so IT WORKS!

    In black water
    You see nothing
    Anything could be below
    In the dark
    As foreign as martians
    As familiar as fear
    The uncertainty buzz buzzes in your ear
    Don’t look in the black water
    Keep moving
    The boardwalk is long
