WRITING PROMPT:Monday Matchup #12
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 guitar, a scar, and your hometown.
Also! The names of all the story-posters from the last month or so were thrown into the Promptly hat, and four were pulled to each receive five books from the stacks on my desks. Reggie Manning, Janel, Evelyn and Mark James—can you e-mail me your addresses so I can get the swag mailed out? And as always, thanks to everyone who posted a story—or stories—in the last month. You truly make the Promptly world go round.
