Look around you…
See something you haven’t touched in awhile? A book you haven’t read? A dish you haven’t eaten from? A chair you haven’t sat it?
Write a 100 word apology.
OR
If you’re brave, write a 100 explanation to it about why you’re going to get rid of it…
…comes the fresh perspective!
Over the past few months I’ve been over occupied with getting readjusted to the world of commuting, training for a Triathlon, and just plain playing. It’s my late summer standard, but now by gosh the harvest moon is in the sky, the pumpkins are competing to come home with me for transformation into Jack o’Lanterns, and NaNoWriMo is just around the corner…
So welcome back, Dear Readers, I look forward to the cooler nights and cuddling up to the fire with a warm blog…
I thought I’d share something from a recent urban hike for this Weekend (Photo) Writing Prompt, and ask you about its incongruity.
I came across this spot while hunting for…well, not PARKING, obviously. Your job, Dear Writer, is to tell me the story of how it came there. Perhaps it’s a relic of an ancient civilization, or a piece of perfomance art created by precocious pandas…whatever it is, write us 150-200 words about its backstory (bonus points if you can actually identify the setting).
If you have a blog or website of your own, I’d love a pingback to your response!)
Monster Truck Wrestling. The Triathlon of Tweeting. We need some new sports out there in the world. That’s why this Weekend Writing Prompt is all about getting away from the desk and getting involved in physical activities. Or, maybe, just imagining new team logos to spread all over ESPN Sports Center.
So let’s hear a 500 word description on a new sport, a new competition, or a new race type. Whether it’s the Kayak/Dwarf Tossing dualathlon or poodle polo, tell us about the teams or players, the rules, and what the prize is for the grand championship winners. They can’t all go to Disneyland…

Superman or Lex Luther; Bilbo or Gollum? This Weekend Writing Prompt is about your fantasies of being the hero or the villain in your own story.
Give us 500 words (it’s a long…but remember, YOU’RE SUPER!) about the good guy or the bad guy you’ve always wanted to be. What are your powers? What’s your motivation. Did a thief shoot your father in front of you? Did your mother not hug you enough? And for extra points: who is your arch nemesis and why???
(For those of you with blogs or websites of your own, I’d love to see a pingback to your response!)
It’s a mere six…count ‘em…six days until the 545-mile AIDS LifeCycle kicks off. In those six days, there’s still $490 left to raise. For this Weekend Writing Prompt, come up with a creative marketing pitch in 250 words for an inventive, out of the box fundraising idea.

I have a writing ritual. The French writer Colette had a writing ritual too. Mine does NOT involve green sealing wax, like Madame’s. Virginia Woolf suggested a room of one’s own. For this Weekend (Photo) Writing Prompt start with this picture of my own little ritual (pen, notebook, laptop and coffee shop), and tell us about your own rituals for creativity.
The Write Way (For me)
Give it 150-200 words, make it a bulleted list if that helps, or a guided visualization. Whatever…it’s YOUR ritual!
