Woke at 07:15 today. How does my brain know it's Saturday?
Going bonkers here because I think I can smell, faintly, vomit. I've changed my clothes, showered, but this smell is still there. Maybe my brain is rotting.
Here are this morning's prompts from Boot Camp
if you aren't a Boot Camper, why not get on line to a group of fellow-writers agree a time and all look at the daily prompts, challenge each other to write a flash or a story, set a time-limit. 75 minutes for a flash, two hours for a story. (It's just a first draft). it's the GROUP dynamic that makes the difference, the sense of sport, pressure, togetherness.
Of course you could always join BC...
Hey I just noticed something...
Here is a free opening to a story:
