Tells a story, right?
Write it!
Writing prompt – an old poem
Talking of masterless men, last week, I was reminded of this poem by Jia Dao, a Chinese poet from the Tang Dynasty.
For ten years I have been polishing this sword;
Its ice-sharp edge has never been put to the test.

It sort of gets you in the mood for a story, right?
Something with action and elegance, maybe?
Writing prompt: Cats and Dogs
… what’s gonna happen next?
Writing prompt: Tomorrow
The future is not what it used to be.
Not fit with our plans
Today, a different kind of writing inspiration.
Having published it in All Story in 1912, Edgar Rice Burroughs proposed his novel, Tarzan of the Apes to a publisher for a book edition.
This was the reply.
Burroughs would eventually publish twenty-four Tarzan novels in book format.
Writing prompt – Got a light?
Maybe it’s because I’m reading The Mammoth Book of Dieselpunk, maybe it’s because I always get ideas about stories to write while I have stories to write (don’t ask), but I’d really really like to do a dieselpunk number.
