Of Learning and Love

Prompt of the Day #11

What does the future hold? Is it a scary place? Is it a Utopian, Golden Age? Where do you or your character want to end up? Do you miss the way things were? What do the older generations think about it? 

Write a poem or story about the future - whether its an idealistic or apocalyptic world. 

After a long couple of emails back and forth between myself and a writer in a funk, it was decided that this week will be dedicated to two things: 'Love', as it is Valentines Day tomorrow, and different ways of 'Learning' how to improve your own writing. These two themes will involve: 

• looking at some of the love poetry of Ovid, Catullus and some more modern writers; 
• thinking about relationships between characters and voices; 
• considering your relationship with your own work
• learning ways that you can make yourself a better writer. 

That's why I started today with a prompt about the future - you know what you want, you know your pen, it's up to you to achieve what you want, no one else. So I want to keep this very short today and let you think about these things. 

If you want to be taken seriously the only person who can force the world to take notice is you. 

Now I'm going to point you here: 25 Things Writers Should Stop Doing. 

Think about it.
