I clearly go through too many phases where I don't write anything, and then there's a bit of a spurt of something, then not again... hm. This is something I found from the
OberNoWriSu motivation thread with the figment daily themes. It was really interesting and made me write 546 words today. I have no idea where this is leading to, but I like the idea of it. This was the prompt I received:
Your Daily Theme for Jan. 12, 2012
Very quickly, write down a list of ten locations.
Pick #3.
Set two characters in this location, and use one of the objects you might easily find in this location. Let the two characters talk a lot about this object, or these objects. (If it's a diner, maybe a grilled cheese sandwich. If it's a meadow, a daisy chain.) Put them in a situation where they have to use this object. But one of the characters isn't saying everything he/she is feeling. There's a secret underneath, but the character will not reveal it. You may not even know what it is at first. Let this tension come out in how they talk about the object, without building to a big 'reveal'.
I don't think I did well in building the tension, I think I can work on it a bit more. I ended up writing 546 words
Anyone interested in reading it, it is here:
~Link~ (Mind you, unedited!). I was uninspired about location and object, so kinda went with the idea they gave... but will try with another location!
EDIT: I have written a further 707 words but on something different - back to something I wrote last time. It was based on a word prompt my cousin gave me.
Yay for writing, except I wish I could write a bit everyday, as opposed to this one big download and then nothing for days!
