Every week, I will upload a new, original writing prompt to get some creative juices flowing! Type it, write it on paper, write it in your head, it doesn't matter! Just get your thoughts going and share them! Each week, on Monday at roll over or just after, I will post a new writing prompt. You then have the week to complete it and share it. Each week, a single person's work will be selected and showcased in the Spotlight (this will be accompanied with a small FR prize). Feel free to submit or provide feedback to those who request it! Anyone is welcome to join and there is no signing up process. Simply submit a prompt! :D [img]http://i.imgur.com/9HWTIBs.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/IyqxD1X.png[/img] Okay, so we have to have some rules to make it fair! Anything that does not follow these rules will not be eligible for the Spotlight and I likely won't read it. [LIST] [*]Ping me (@MizuKuma) when you post your submissions. [*]Must be uploaded/shared by 11:59:59pm, Sunday night, FR time. [*]Limit of 1 (one) entry per person per week. [*]Maximum of 500 words, unless otherwise stated in the prompt. [*]If posting into the forums, follow FR rules. [*]If posting in GoogleDoc, please remember that FR forum rules extend to any and all linked content. (Of course, you are more than welcome to write content that does not adhere to FR rules, but you are not permitted to link to it on the site or share it. So, please do edit your submissions for the Weekly Writing Prompt so they follow all FR rules. Thanks! :) ) [*]If posting in a GoogleDoc, make sure you change the sharing settings so all people can view it. [*]If you want Feedback, use the following button in your post. Those without the button will not receive feedback. [img]http://i.imgur.com/UIO9rwR.png[/img] [code][img]http://i.imgur.com/UIO9rwR.png[/img][/code] [*]Only provide feedback to those with a button.

[quote=By NordicCowgirl] I had every intention to keep my New Year’s Resolution. I made a promise to eat more fish, but as soon as I made my promise, the worst thing happened . . . All the fish in the world started singing and dancing and no one wanted to eat them anymore! It was like the end of that Happy Feet movie, but even more nightmarish. The fish danced like they were trying out for the Shark Tale movie, wiggling their fishy hips and twirling tiny pieces of coral shaped like stage canes. I didn’t even think fish had hips, let alone hips that could rival Shakira. I think I even saw some lobsters dancing the Lobster Quadrille at some point in little top hats. Who even makes tops hats the right size for lobsters? So there went my New Year’s Resolution, until all the fish singing and dancing began to annoy the entire world. They just would not stop singing! All day, all night! And they began getting worse and worse as far as being on key. Soon, the world was filled with off-key singing fish! I guess that’s why they say, you can tune a piano, but you can’t tune a fish.[/quote] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/IyqxD1X.png[/img][size=2] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/1604050#1604050]Information[/url] || [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/1604050#14578550]Current Prompt[/url] || [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/1604050#14578551]Prompt Types[/url] || [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/1604050#14578552]Spotlight[/url] || [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/1604050#14578557]Archive[/url] [/center]
