Starting Sparks July: the awkward conversationlists

So I hope you all are having a good summer?


Calvin and Hobbes:



But today I am not here to discuss pleasantries. I am here because I am BURDENED WITH GLORIOUS PURPOSE!

Ahem, and that purpose is to give you the new prompt for July's Starting Sparks.

*crickets*

Okay, so perhaps it wasn't as glorious a purpose as might be expected. But I am working my way up, okay? Start small. Start sparks. As I, er, they say.

Anyhow, you know the drill and if you don't, well, this is a link up. Co-hosted by Emily @ Ink Inc. and me @ I'd think you know where. The details are here.

Here's the button.





The PROMPT!

*rubs hands together maliciously* There's so much I could do with a prompt like that. 


Write like a fiend!

  1. The prompt is lyrics from Riptide by Vance Joy, right? :)

    So much could be done with this!

  2. Your purpose is noble, Ashley lol. It's always a great thing to inspire - er, to start those little sparks of creativity in your fellow writers! Great prompt, a lot could definitely be done with that.

    I've tagged you for The Wisteria Writer tag, also! Here's the post for you!

    Write on! :D

    1. I'd love to read what you come up with! As I always do. XD But of course we understand if you're busy. Life. Gah! It's always so bothersome.

  6. Why thank you! *bows*

    XD I do wonder sometimes about my pinterest activity. Nearly everyone who comments on my blog also follows my pinterest so I can just see them predicting what I'm going to blog about or which Sherlock gif I'll be using next. XD But of course, I have to find something amusing for an SS post!

    Don't worry about it. I really don't think you have to be ashamed. It's not like whoever created the quote had the courtesy to give credit to the author of the quote/song/book in their little edit, picture, thing. (*cough* So I've done that before.) There was no way for someone unfamiliar with the originator to know, so I see no point in shame. I think you're good. :)

    Gosh! You've really thought this through! I have no idea what Vance Joy connotes as I had no idea who he was before someone pointed it out to me. (Unless it involves the artists I regularly listen to, I'm oblivious about the music world. Obviously, with my 1D fumble. . .) I'll probably just approach the quote without any thought to the song or artist. Just the words in and of themselves are enough for me. Maybe that's silly? *shrugs* I have no idea who I'll right about yet though, so yeah. . .

    And Edmund post! Huzzah! I cannot wait. Actually, I think you've probably already published it. . .

    As I am replying to your comment VERY late, I did receive both emails. :) I've also read both emails. AND I AM SO EXCITED I AM BURSTING!

    Ugh, yes. Dropping one's brain. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!

  7. "A text without context is a con!" --- Wow. But true. If it's taken out of the context of the originator it can mean anything you want it to mean. The words still have power, but that power is free to be manipulated away from originator's intentions if taken out of context. Very true. I shall read your email!
