To-read

I have a massive to-read list. It stretches on for 269 books, and each year it keeps growing. Sometimes I think I’ll never get to the end of that list, especially after the year I’ve had. Though I used to average about a book a week, lately it’s more like a book a month. I guess it doesn’t much matter if I ever check every item off the list, because it’s all about the journey, or so they say (whoever they are).

Right now, I’m reading something I feel like I should have read as a teenager driven by escapism and dreams of far-off places: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I know, I know, I can’t believe I haven’t read it either. Better late than never?

What books have you been excited to read? Any that might spice up your writing (or life)?

Oh, speaking of spice, make sure to review the submission guidelines before making your post too spicy for the challenge. If you’ve found some other yeah write writers you dig, why not ask them to be your writing partner? Everyone needs another set of eyes to point out the typos, content errors, and ungainly phraseologies in our posts.

Who’s on your team?

The optional prompt above can serve as inspiration for your fiction or poetry. Use the question word for word in your story or poem, or just answer it. The team can be without sports, if you don’t swing that way. If you already have an idea, no problem—the prompt is only there if you need it.

New inspiration for you

Prompt up!

Prompt up is our optional weekly writing prompt for the fiction|poetry challenge! Here’s how it works: we choose a sentence prompt from last week’s winning nonfiction post and announce it in the kickoff. The prompt is just a springboard, though: feel free to use it as your first sentence, move it, change it, or float down it to other territories.

Nancy gave us a beautiful introspective look into scarcity and self-denial in her essay Plenty of Saffron. This week’s prompt up is: “The world tilts.”

March poetry slam: haiku

Haiku is not just about counting syllables, and it’s much, much more than 5-7-5. Rowan will teach you to pack this tiny poem with enough imagery and emotion to sustain your soul for days.

Is this your first time here?
