Mind of Bryan

So I’m starting off a writer’s game. I read a description in the book I’m currently reading that just blew me away. I want to get as good as this line at description, so here’s the challenge: I’ll post a something to describe, and other writers can respond with a sentence or two. We’ll compile them, get links out, and have some fun, get some inspiration and sharpen our skills. This is the quote that inspired me:

The sky all at once is overhead dim and grey, puzzle of blocks sprawl, their own horizon; the city looks like a cemetery full of weak daylight, cool and a little wrong, making Ella feel a little put upon, like leap-year day—nothing in itself, but a nudge jostling every other day.

So here’s the first challenge: Describe a bad kiss or kisser. You can comment to me here, at facebook or twitter. Make sure to include your site for the link back.

Also, here’s another person who is doing a similar thing. Her prompt is “wet paper bag”. Difficulty: you can’t say those words.

So I’m going to start a writing game here and at the Compulsive Writer’s Support Group. Once a week, maybe during Write Chat on Sundays on Twitter, I’ll post something to describe in one or two sentences here, on Facebook and on twitter. I’ll let my writer friends respond to it, and we’ll post the best responses on my blogs. It’s kind of like scenes from a hat but for writers.

The idea is to spur some creative juices, and expand the creativity of writers and readers alike, quickly and simply. The writers will be able to have a link to their site from here, and so everybody gets some publicity. Should be fun. Pay attention to my posts for more information. Send me a friend request or follow me to get in on the game.

Ok, so these aren’t quite as polished as steampunk usually are. It’s almost more post-apocalypse. But here you go.Kind of like the camera glitch in the last one though it signals doom for my actual camera.
