Prompt & Link: “Unexpected”

Jump to Comments

9:00 AM Friday morning, June 6th 2008, on the U.S. West Coast, is quickly approaching — so… here I am with a new Prompt! This week’s, and the thirty-eighth Writer’s Island prompt is: “Unexpected”.

That word paints some startling and exciting images for me. Where does “Unexpected“ take your imagination? Share with us what you envision.

••>
We turn to an honest and touching movie, When Did You Last See Your Father,
for our nineteenth and twentieth Matinee Muse prompts.
The first is: “Overshadowed”.
Does that put you in mind of someone/something being unseen or overlooked?
Perhaps you envision the idea of being unappreciated.

The second is: “Reconciliation”.
Does this spark for you a sense of reuniting, maybe even healing?
Maybe it stirs an uplifting or meaningful personal experience or memory.

The Matinee Muse prompts are now a regular weekly offering, so please enjoy!
Remember — this, and every week, click the poster to learn about the movie.

Feel free to use any one, or all, of this week’s prompts — or use your own, if you so choose. Whatever moves your soul this week is what we all want to read.

So, create your poem, prose, short story, essay, commentary, or whatever — and post it on your blog. Feel free to include recordings of you reading your work — and any photo, artwork, or graphic representation you feel is relevant.

When you have finished your piece, please return here to this post and place your link to your work as a comment — and as you know, just the link, not the piece.

Please realize there is no need to rush, this post will be open to receive your links for the entire week, leading up to the next prompt.

May your muse, this week and every week, surprise you with ample inspiration to write your very best — write from your heart! We can’t wait to see what you create.
