Scalzi’s writing prompts

Posted by Frank Cote on October 19, 2011
Posted in: news and views. Tagged: Scalzi, writing prompt.

Once again, Scalzi justifies his position in my list of favorite authors.   This post made me laugh.   Check it out!

I intend to try and follow up on this particular writing prompt:

“One night, in a dark and depressing cantina on the shady side of Coruscant, you meet up with a man who claims to be the Marksman Instructor at the Stormtrooper Academy. Share with us his drunken lament.”

Life has exploded lately.  Haven’t been able to post or write much, this is just the kind of silly thing to get the juices flowing again.
