Eureka

PROMPT November 25th

Write about tinkering, brainstorming, or the process of creation. What brings out your creativity?


I must admit I do like a good prompt. I read the prompt, store it in my brain and forget about it until Eureka! Out pops an idea, or several, for a story. I don’t know how that works but it seems to for me.

I find staring with dialogue always gets me going too. It’s like walking into the middle of someone having a conversation on the phone. You need to fill in the replies and before you know it you are embroiled in a situation. Although someone told me it’s a no no to start with dialogue, I prefer it to descriptions of the scene where the story takes place.

Other times I simply start to write, not knowing where I’m headed and before I know it I’m off and running. That’s great when that happens, it’s exciting.
