No, not the end of the story, although congratulations if that’s it, instead I mean the end of something in the story.  Maybe the character reads the end of a novel they had been working their way through, or they reach the end of a trail and can’t see where it went to.  Did they suddenly hit the ‘end of their rope’?

Just pick out something that would signify a clear end point and use that as your writing prompt for the end of January.

The Writing prompt for today is cold.  Maybe your characters are caught outside in the winter, maybe they are just cold in general and trying to warm up.

It could be a reference to the weather or to the disposition of one of the characters in your novel.  I’m sitting here with cold feet trying to warm them using a small electric heater, so that’s where this prompt is originating from, but you can use the term to prompt any sort of writing creativity that you can dream up.

Have fun and keep writing.

Today’s prompt is a short one, because I don’t have a lot of time, so just work a time limit into things.  I’ll leave it to you to think up the possibilities.

Deleting SPAM so take it and run with it, rather it is comment SPAM, SPAM mails, or actual in a can condensed ham SPAM.

I wonder what the magical equivalent of e-mail SPAM would be? What about the future of SPAM? What are the laws about SPAM in the future?

Have you ever felt like the White Rabbit?  Dashing through an insane world crying out “I’m late! I’m late!”  Yeah, me too.  It seems like only an hour ago it was 8 a.m.

So, lets make someone late today, shall we?  Just pick something and make them late, either in an appointment or getting the cake out of the oven - anything you can dream up.

Can’t you just see the scowl on the wizard’s face when his apprentice comes in 5 minutes late for the planetary alignment?

What would the spaceport do if someone was late getting there with an important shipment? Could that lateness mean dangerous landing during a solar storm?

How would the judge feel if your prosecuting attorney was late back into the court room?

What caused these late arrivals?   Were they justifiable?
