As promised, I bring you another writing sprint.

Interview your favorite character in the story


Ask them the following questions:


1. Does it take much to get you angry? Or - What would frost you enough to start a fight with someone?
2. What is your first thought when you see a rainbow?
3. Do you enjoy a good mystery?
4. Name something you would really like, but would never buy for yourself.
5. You are standing at a fork in the road. If you turn left the road leads home. What is waiting for you down that other road? Will you turn left or right? 

These questions are intended to help you consider your character from a perspective outside of the story. However, if they suit the story or plot - go with it. If you missed the sprints last weekend, you can find them here and here.

Use only as directed:

This game is open to the whole community, not just those who signed up to write for May's theme. For those who are working on their month-long story, the content of your resulting sprint DOES NOT need to be included in your final story. It is an exercise for you, not a requirement.

If you want to share what you wrote in the sprint, paste a link in the comments below. Sharing is also not required.

If you write something today and want to share it with us we'll read it, and share some #commentlove as the reader sees fit. There is no voting for this exercise.

Typically a sprint would be timed, but since we are scattered across time zones and have work and families to attend to the only limitation I will give you is this - the time to share your sprint results with us will end Sunday night at midnight (wherever you are).

Our flamestorming session is tentatively set for Sunday around 4pm EDT for a few hours. We will be using Google Hangouts.

You can find us at the address below, send us an email anytime Sunday and we will add you to our Hangouts Contacts. If you are protective of your gMail address or do not have one, consider setting up a free gMail account to use strictly for flamestorming in privacy. You must have a gmail or Google + account to use Hangouts.

Brigit's Flame - flamestorming.tng@gmail.com


It's simple to use, just open gMail or Google + and choose Hangouts. I will include you on the initial group message and you can join at your leisure.

#lightAfire under your muse
Happy writing.
In honor of Mother's Day your second writing sprint prompt is -

If your birth month falls during January through June your prompt is:

Your protagonist's mother



If your birth month falls during July through December your prompt is:

Your antagonist's mother



Tell us a story about her. Have a conversation with her. Interview her outside the courthouse. Pull the character's file out of their therapists cabinet and describe what it reveals. How has she influenced them? Perhaps she died when they were young and new leaving only an absence to build a shape around. However you see her - however your character sees her we want to know.

The first writing sprint shared yesterday is still open until midnight tonight. Go check it out if you missed it.

There will be another sprint on Friday. Our flamestorming session is tentatively set for next Sunday around 4pm EDT.

#gospark your muse and hug your mothers if you've got 'em.
Happy writing.
As promised, here is your first writing sprint prompt -

If your name (username or rl name) begins with a letter A-L your prompt is:

Hypnotic State


If your name begins with a letter M-Z your prompt is:

Vision Quest


Tell us what you character sees and experiences. How do they feel about it, before? During? After? What memories or demons float to the surface? Why or how do they find themselves in this situation?

Before you go, let me explain the exercise.
