Weekly Writing Prompt for Sept. 4 2011

This week’s writing prompt is from  podcast entitled “Writing Excuses.”  It was featured a few episodes ago, but seemed to be a good one to start us out on.

Writing Prompt: Go someplace, use all five of your senses, and for thirty minutes write about the place you’re in. Not the people though. Just the place.

Origin: Writing Excuses 6.11: Making Your Descriptions Do More Than One Thing

Why selected: This writing prompt seems to be a great exercise in world building/scene descriptions.  Hopefully this will help is better describe the world our characters live in.

Sharing your results from the weekly writing prompt certainly isn’t required, but feel free to share via a link in the comments or bring to the next writer’s group meeting.
