Blue dusk,
stars slowly puncturing the sky.

Welcome
Here you will find writing prompts to jump start your imagination and inspire you as a fiction writer. Every Wednesday I post a first line which you can use as a starting point to write your own fabulous, tragic, magical, hilarious and hopefully award-winning short story. Want more? Check back often for other prompts designed to keep the words flowing. You'll also find the occasional author interview, book review or musing from me as I share my own journey as a writer.

Lovely...
Very nice....
So funny that this should be your stone today! A poet friend of mine just posted on her Facebook a pair of lines from a James Galvin poem (from his collection X: Poems -- http://www.amazon.com/Lannan-Literary-Selections-James-Galvin/dp/1556591918):
"The whole night sky went bad in the knees, / Nothing to pin it up but the stars."
Must be something in the air these days--a lot of the stones I'm reading have common themes, and a lot of the random comments I see online relate to each other. It's like, despite all the tragedy and anger and suffering I see, the whole world is coming into harmony. :)
