Write at the Merge Wrap Up, Week 18

This week’s prompts were a bit of a Saturday Night Live skit and an image of an old-fashioned advertisement for revolving closet racks. There was a really wide variety of responses this week, so definitely check them out! Lyssa from Always Another Chapter gives us a glimpse into how elves and faeries get their hands…

Working on a WIP

One of the most difficult things to explain to my non-writer friends is the idea that I can have more than one work in progress. Of course, I must also then explain that with my six, wait, seven – I forgot about that one – current works, there’s not a finished manuscript in the bunch….

Write at the Merge Week 18

Welcome to week 18 of Write at the Merge, the creative writing prompt that lets you decide the direction your story will take. We provide two pieces of inspiration, and your writing can use either or both things to prompt your fiction or creative non-fiction. Use up to 500 words, and the linky is open…

Write at the Merge Wrap Up, Week 17

Two evocative photos this week for your prompting pleasure. Did you all enjoy writing? I did. Last time, I used random.org to choose two link-ups to highlight, and it was so much fun, I decided to do it again. As of the time I’m scheduling, there are 18 pieces. Here are the results: Jennifer Dillon…

The Orphan File

Angela talked on Tuesday about how organizing and decluttering her house reminds her of editing. She’s packing up some of her treasures because they don’t work for the house’s needs right now. Maybe, in a new space, they will have different meaning, maybe they won’t seem as precious in a different context, maybe she’ll unpack…

Editing and Selling Houses

We’re considering putting our house on the market. I say considering because if I say we are putting our house on the market, it means this incredible list of tasks does, in fact, have to be completed instead of being a suggestion of things to do this spring. As I pull books off bookshelves to…

Write at the Merge, Week 17

More photos! I’m on a photo kick! Bear with me! For those who are new here, Write at the Merge is a writing prompt for creative writers. We offer two items for a prompt response. You can use either, or both, to inspire your response. Fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry are welcome, and there’s a 500…

Write at the Merge Wrap Up, Week 16

Thank you to everyone who participated in this week’s Write at the Merge. This week’s prompt combined a Wuthering Heights quote and Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer,” and there were so many variations in the responses! Thanks for your continuing creativity and excellent work. Rox from Unintentionally Brilliant continues to weave a tale of melancholy beauty…
