Summer Writing Camp #2

I hope you guys all enjoyed the first SWC!

Here are the participants:

Skye @ Ink Castles (she gives a peek at one of her characters from her Beauty and the Beast retelling; you  must read it!)

Rachel W. @ Secret Scribblings (she puts a funny and oh so creative twist on this prompt; go read it!)

And if you haven't read mine (I sat down, wrote it, and posted, so expect no amazingness, okay?)

Here's the next prompt for anyone who wishes to join! Just sign the link! (I got it to work! I'm so excited.) The prompt will be open for two weeks, so the deadline is June 19th. Also let me know: do you like the two week deadline, or would you prefer it to be only one week?

Go forth and write!

  1. This looks fun! Do I have to use characters from my previous written series or can I make a new story?

    2. I'm having writers block. I can't come up with ideas for this one! I've written a draft but it's pretty terrible. I'll have to do the next one. :(

  2. So I just found this blog and linkup through Skye at Ink Castles and it looks like such fun! I might have to join at some point - I don't know if I'll do this one, but eventually... :-)

  3. It's okay. I knew it was going to be a tight squeeze for most people. I almost forgot it. . .

    A vote for the two week deadline. Yay!

    Really? This sounds intriguing. I must read it.

  4. Two weeks is much more manageable, great prompt.

  5. Aaah, Skye seems to be on the fast track to an AMAZING retelling. (I have a soft spot for retellings.) And ooh, this is a really cool prompt :)

    1. Yes, I love retellings too. And hers is quite good.

      You should join! It will be fun. :)

  6. Super idea! That prompt has got my mind spinning:) I just might have to link up!

  7. QUESTION: Since this is not dialogue, does the story have to contain the actual prompt phrase, or is it just more of an idea that you have to center around? Just curious. :)

    1. Really, you can do whatever you'd like with it. I'm going to use it in my text, but you don't have to if you don't want to. If you want it just as an idea, that's cool too. I want to let everyone give their imagination free rein. So if the prompt does not word-for-word fit, twist it to your own purposes. ;)

  8. Ooh, I should totally participate!

  9. Yay!

    I know what you mean. Every time I set out to write a short story, it turns into a novel. And when I keep it short, the ending is. . . well, non-existent.

    I definitely understand the being busy thing. I kind of let blog reading go under too. I read all these great titles and proposed discussions and wish I had time to read them all! But I always go back to them. I hope you like the link-up post. It didn't really have an ending. And the vlog thing. I hope school is going well.
