katstalesSo I bought this writing kit compiled by the founder of NaNoWriMo on the last day of October. It's supposed to have all of the things you need to keep you going and be successful at writing a 50k word novel in one month. Inside the kit there is a set of cards containing writing prompts, one for each day of the month. Some have been helpful, some not so much, but they have all been quite interesting. As such, I've decided I'm going to try to share those prompts here, one each day, for any of my fellow writers out there. Even if you're not doing NaNoWriMo, you might find something that can help you through a block, right?
So here is the one for today in a nutshell (#5 in the set for week 1):
Borrow Mercilessly--Before you start writing, read the first few pages of a novel by an author whose voice you've always loved. Pick out the techniques that the writer uses to create the mood that you find so appealing. Borrow those methods and use them throughout today's writing session.
Any takers? :)
The card and the kit that it comes in can be found here:
No Plot? No Problem! The Kit!
