The prompt is...
The Road Trip
Some questions to help you get started:
Who is the traveler?
Why are they traveling?
Where are they going? Are they going anywhere?
The questions are only meant to help you get started. Make it happy or sad, adventure or horror, romance or tragedy. Go where your imagination takes you. Don't feel constrained by what may seem to be the obvious response to the prompt.
Please keep your submissions between 1000-2000 words (for reference, this topic section is about 200 words), make sure to properly format to Tildes when submitting to the submission thread.
Submission thread will be created on Wednesday, Aug 29, EST.
Please feel free to use this thread to brainstorm or share ideas or post any other comments you have about the writing prompt group.
Have fun everyone! I can't want to see what you create!
Things I may change:
I may do away with topic voting if/until the group gets big enough, and I'll just post a weekly prompt.
Depending on the number of submissions, I may increase the max length.
I’m also going to be working on this prompt; I’ll submit my story after I’ve given feedback for all of the submissions.
Some things I’m thinking about are the idioms of: “You can never go home,” “You travel to appreciate home,” “Getting there is half the fun.”
Some other things I’m thinking about our my experiences moving long distances and realizing that not only do I change, but “home” changes without me. I’m also thinking about how “over there” has become “home” and how what a younger me called “home” has become “over there.”
It’s kind of ironic how brainstorming for a prompt about travel has caused me to think more about where I am rather than where I might go.
Isn't this Prompt 1? The 1st prompt?
Still figuring things out, lol. If this works out, we'll get to 1.
