WRITING PROMPT
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.
At the library, you see someone using a public computer—and the contents of her screen leave you speechless. Pretending to look at books, you peer over her shoulder and read.
Also, after putting all the author names from the last couple of months into the official Promptly top hat (or, more accurately, the Promptly bowl from my kitchen) and pulling one at random, Julie Jordan* will be laying claim to the latest collection of interoffice swag. (This time around, a hearty stack of books and a couple of magazines; to make up for lost time, we'll be doing another drawing soon, too.)
And like I've written before, to everyone who wrote a story, stories, or shared their thoughts in any
form on the blog in the last couple of months: An honest thank you for being a part of
Promptly!
*Julie: Can you give me a shout at writersdigest [at] fwmedia [dot] com and provide your address so I can get
the swag shipped out?
