Writing Prompt - The Earth is Dying

July 24th 2009 13:33

Image Credit

The image above evokes a lot of thought, doesn't it? An eye - switched for the planet earth, smoke coming off the right side of it. What does this mean to you?

I want you to give me 10 words that come to your mind when you look at this picture. It doesn't have to make sense and it doesn't have to be a sentence. Don't be afraid to share your words.

Here's mine:

Destruction, greed, smoke, waste, hate, death, ruin, ignorance, size, vision.

Question of the day…

August 6th 2008 11:50

If we read a book of fiction that we read because of the author’s other fame (such as Nicole Richie or Steve Martin’s books), than isn’t our desire for truth really only wrapped up and protected beneath the thin veneer of fiction?

I Love Us All

July 25th 2008 13:47

I love how we are all twisted in our own delusion we are the greatest, no matter how much we pretend otherwise

I love how people say humans are inherintly evil yet struggle to explain why babies smile

10 Heroes That Need to be Written.

June 2nd 2008 10:28

1. Like Bond but Gay. We never see gay heroes. Wouldn't that be just fantastic though?

2. A disabled hero would be great. Perhaps in a wheelchair or something? Maybe a mental disability. Can you imagine the potential for a Manic Depressive Hero struggling to get the girl and save the day? Or Schizophrenic, or MPD. Autism and OCD Heroes tend to be fantastically complex, but are quickly becoming a stereotype. What kind of struggles could your hero face in this way

Stories with a Carrot #1

April 11th 2008 13:48

I dreamed of carrots on my third day of the diet. Like, clouds, big ugly orange clouds, in the air. And not made of carrot juice, like at first seemed (in the world of this dream anyway) to be the real logical possibility, but made of actual tiny carrots, like nanobots in that ‘grey goo’ scenario
