Writer's Challenge #5

This challenge was one that was posted to me by a friend of a friend (long story) and it was creative enough that I thought I would share it with you.

Go online or hit your local music store to grab a list of 20 Indie rock band names, at random (I recommend a top 20 list for 2008 or have a couple friends go with you and get them to split the task of gathering bands).

Take your 20 band names and create a story using the names. Use all 20 names, they don't have to be in order and you can use other words to enhance but get all 20 band names in.

Writing Challenge #3

Wow, it took some time get back 'round to this blog. My apologies. I would like to make some reason for not posting which fills your heart with pity which causes you to excuse it all away. Unfortunately, I ain't got one! Moving on:

I know today isn't Monday, but...
This week's writing challenge is a simple one. Pick a favorite musical band, favorite movie, video game, comic book, role playing....well, you get the point. Once you have it nestled securely into your forethought, write a haiku (or a series of haiku) discussing it. Heck, you could even write one for each of the various topics I displayed above (or more, if you choose).

Let's see what we can get done eight days from now (July 17th).

Infinite Inkweel Writer's Guild Update

As this blog has slowly formed from my own desire to write, into a small guild of writers, it seems only logical that multiple people be allowed to create posts on this site.

As of now, this blog site is a forum for all of the writers in the Infinite Inkwell Writer's Guild so that, all of the writers have a platform of their works or thoughts. Each post is property of the individual guild member.

This action should open this blog into a multiverse of fiction and fantasy and can even act as a springboard to other blogs of each writer, just like my own blog about comic books.

Thanks for reading friends and don't just read, dip that pen!

Infinite Inkwell Writer's Guild - Challenge #3

This piece of art is entitled, "Leashed Passion" and is by artist, Laurie Lipton.

The drive for this challenge is to pick any one aspect of this picture and to describe it in vivid detail, from the physical senses such as sight, sound, smell to the metaphysical senses including history or emotional connection. Get crazy and craft away!

Infinite Inkwell Writer's Guild - Challenge #2

This post is the next challenge for the members of the Infinite Inkwell Writer's Guild.
If you are not a member and would like to become a member, please e-mail me from blogspot and we can discuss entry into the guild.

Alright, fellow pensmiths, here is our second challenge! For this challenge, the main object of your short story must be the color blue. Whether it is the color itself or something that is that color. You are a writer, get creative. The criteria should range from three paragraphs to a single page of writing.

The main object is the color blue!

Post as a comment if you please.
Good luck! I will submit my own story on Friday.

Infinite Inkwell Writer's Guild - Challenge #1

This post is intended for guild members but I also encourage every reader to give it a solid read and attempt to complete the challenge.

Here's the challenge, take the word at the end of this post in blue, say it aloud, then craft a story with the first thing that comes to mind (aside of the definition). Try to get at least one page written.

Whether you are in the guild or not, feel free to post your story as a comment on this thread. I will have mine posted by Friday, June 9th.

The word is:

INCITE

From the grotto!

I have burned an idea through my head for some time now (possibly a year) and, as the planets align or the fates spin (whichever great destiny you may subscribe to), I have determined that NOW is the time!

The foundation of the Infinite Inkwell Writer's Guild has been set and the structure which sits upon said foundation is being developed!
Currently, our membership sits at two individuals. If you live in the Walla Walla area, have a sincere passion for writing, and would like to gain membership, contact me here or on Facebook.

We will gather for regular or semi-regular meetings. The goals of these meetings will range from writing challenges to network enhancement or any other discussion topic which will enhance our writing or publishing agendas.
