Creative Writing Blog

and now for a little wednesday writing…

i know. i’m late. i vowed to get these posts up every sunday but alas. i’m always late. what can i say? i’m a poet. only songwriters can keep good time. har har

ok now for a quick writing prompt to get your midweek juices flowing -

- grab a book, a favourite if you want

- open a page at random

- read a sentence at random

- use this line as your starting point and just go….

or, if you are really lazy, use my selection randomly selected from Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist:

“Well, then , why do we need all these books?” the boy asked.”

that’s from page 80, third paragraph, Harper Collins, 1998, if you need to know.

ok now go write… i expect you to hand in 50 pages by friday you know!!!!
