Motivation Monday – The One That Got Away

By Novelicious

The One That Got AwayPhew, did that weekend fly by? We’re always secretly excited to get back to our manuscript after the weekend; however, if the cursor is blinking on a blank page in the Monday morning light (we know the feeling), this is for you.

Every Monday, we post a short and sweet writing prompt designed to get the wheels greased and the creative juices flowing. If you like – to spur one another on – you can share your resulting work in the comments below or link to your own blog if you post it there. You can always scibble it down somewhere private too, of course.

You bump into an ex at the supermarket – the one whom you always call ‘The One That Got Away’. What happens?

Fancy a more competitive writing prompt? The winner of the monthly Novelicious Pinterest Prompt is published in our monthly newsletter, read by lots of industry professionals. Why not give that a try too?
