Prompts
Forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't a writing 'prompt' intended to joggle some ideas loose? The idea being that the word, phrase, or quotation stimulates the writer to produce a piece that incorporates the prompt and interprets it creatively and with originality.
That being true, what is a prompt when you stare at it and nothing occurs?
Saturday's prompt at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hp100 was of unusual size. The idea is to write about things larger/smaller than usual. Brushing aside the immediate (and juvenile! lol) kneejerk reaction to the phrase, I let it drift through the back of my head all Sunday. Not until teatime yesterday did I give in to one juvenile idea and jot down a small piece using canon characters.
I'm not saying that this is unusual for me, to remain idea-less. Indeed, I talked about it here and here but I would like to get away from the obvious response, especially for my male OCs, both of whom are grinning at me in a 'dare you! double dragon dare you!' kind of way. Ah ça!
Ét oui, j'sais que j'sis folle! : )
