Here’s a writing prompt for you. It’s a simple fill-in-the-blank. You can use one word or several. Feel free to get as crazy, genre-appropriate, or as imaginative as you want. The point is to get the creative juices flowing. And it’s a good thing to dig deeper, so don’t stop at the first idea that hits you. Try coming up with at least five things.
“Her eyes are as green as _______.”
I’ll give you an example to get you started:
“Her eyes are as green as her heart at her ex-fiance’s wedding.”
I’d love to hear what you come up with, so please share in the comments. Oh, and please keep your posts below an R-rating. It’s a family show, after all!
SHOUT OUT!

Brent,
I just forwarded your email with the 6 tips to the 800 or so writers on my email list. If you see a big surge in responses that may be the reason. I think you are doing a great job!
