WRITING PROMPT:Rock the Boat
Feel free to take the following prompt home or post a
response (500 words or fewer, funny, sad or stirring) in the Comments section below.
By posting, you’ll be automatically entered in our
occasional around-the-office swag drawings.
If
you’re having trouble with the
captcha code sticking, e-mail your piece and the prompt to me at
writersdigest@fwmedia.com, with “Promptly” in the subject line, and I’ll
make sure it gets up.
Write a scene featuring a cruise ship or boat, a sudden change in weather, and the idiom "Fools rush in."
The lineup and discounted early registration have been announced
for the Writer's Digest Conference in New York, Jan. 21-23. Additional
details are on their way, but so far we're planning a pitch
slam, sessions on the future of publishing, craft, and platform, and
much more. Check it all out here.
