IntShoWriMo 2015 Prompts: Day 18



1. It’s a package deal? What if I just want the package without the deal, or the deal without the package? — Writing.Com

2. You start dating a person you met at your local grocery store. The date is going well—you’ve taken the person to your favorite restaurant (in which you both ordered the same unusual meal) and, it turns out, you both grew up in the same small town. The problem is, when you go for a walk along the coastline at the end of the date, she reveals something about her past that shocks you. (Good? Bad? You decide.) — WritersDigest.Com

3. Write a story about a world where people actually get plugged into a writer’s mind to read his story, thereby sharing the writer’s original experience while creating the story. — Akpan


4. So many great films have been released over the past year, many of which have been adapted for the screen from works of fiction and creative nonfiction. Today, think of a movie you love that isn’t based on a book and try to write a short story version of it. Examine the types of shots used, the lighting, how scenes are staged, and try to translate these visuals into the structure of your story. — Poets&Writers
