To Appease the Curious Writer~

Being a fan of shapeshifters, I am always intruiged by the animals used in writing. Really nothing is off limits, though I don’t see the benefit of a shapeshifting turtle, which is probably why I’ve never read a story with that angle. So for this edition of Think Tank Thursday I wondered what animal would I shift into if the ability were mine. I think I would have to go with a lion. There is just something very appealing to me about a lioness. She is the huntress of the pack, strong, and also very sexy creature in a way.

Your turn….. You have the ability to take the form of an animal of your choosing. What animal would you ‘shift’ into and why?

He Wrote What?

Courtesy of Writers Digest we have our next Think Tank Thursday writing prompt. Thought some of you could have fun with this.

You and a friend have just finished a lovely meal at your favorite restaurant. But things take a turn when you notice that the waiter has scribbled an unexpected—and startling—message on your bill. Write this scene.

Have fun!

Writer’s Strike!

It is time for Think Tank Thursday!

That’s right, the weekend is coming up and for writers, that can only mean it is time to get those creative juices flowing. I thought this writing prompt from Writer’s Digest had some very good possibilities And this one, just might strike close enough for some, to really get those creative juices flowing.

Your family isn’t cooperating with your writing career, so you’ve decided to go on strike. Write a list of demands that must be met in order for you to return to your chores and household responsibilities. (Don’t forget to make a concession or two to speed up the negotiation process.)
