Sunday Scribblings #13 - Music

Music.

Many of these Sunday Scribblings prompts are exercises you could do again and again and come up with something completely different every time, and this is certainly one of those. Music! What's the first thing that comes into your mind to write about music? And what happens if you don't write about the first one but sort of wander deeper into your mind and see what else is there? It's a vast subject -- a WORLD. Where does the word take you?

Sunday Scribblings #12 - Bed

I think this came about because I have been craving my bed this week! But whatever the origin, that is the prompt for this week: Bed. It could be, "My bed," "Your bed," "His or her bed," "You made your bed now you have to lie in it," or even, "Whose bed have your boots been under?" You could use the prompt to help create a character - nothing says more about a person than the bed that they sleep in - or you could describe the best bed you ever slept in. You could tell us about your dream bed, the bed that you wanted to sleep in, or the bed that you couldn't get out of fast enough! You could go wholesome or a little racy. You could describe a whole scene from the perspective of a bed-ridden character. You could use it as the scene for the beginning of a book. If you have a laptop you could even just use it as a location rather than a prompt and just sit IN bed and write whatever comes to mind.

As always, please include your full permalink in your comments. (For new Scribblers, that is the link to the post, not just to your blog.) Happy Scribbling!

Sunday Scribblings #11 - Mystery

As a fiction reader I rely upon the belief that "all will be revealed in time." I like to know that the questions & secrets that keep you turning the pages will at last be unveiled and the story will fall together into a beautiful pattern of inevitabilty and symmetry and understanding. I will close the book KNOWING. But life makes no such promise, and I find myself getting frustrated about it! In life more often than not, mysteries stay mysteries. You have to make peace with not knowing. So my question is, if you could have ANY mystery unveiled for you, what would it be? It can be cosmic, personal, political, whatever. What deep unanswered or even unanswerable question would you want to have revealed for your eyes only? What do you dearly want to KNOW? Also, if you want, what would your prefer never to know? What would best remain a mystery?

And if you find yourself stumped, you can always just use the word "mystery" as a free-writing prompt. To me it's a word with many shades of meaning, a delicious, eerie word.

To any newcomers (welcome), just write your response to the above and post your permalink in the comments box below. Have fun!
