Love to write? Want free blog promotion?
Here’s how this works. There’s a writing prompt below for you to take and fly off with. You can take it any direction you want, and with any form of writing, from poetry to fiction, to a novel if you’re up for it.
Here’s who already participated:
How To Make It Look Easy and Still Have Time For Lipstick
Brainstorms: How Epilepsy and Writing Connect
When do I get my blog promoted?
When you’ve written your piece, post it on your blog, linking to this post in your response post to the prompt. Then comment here, and I’ll put a link to your piece from this post! Tell others to come check it out to, and let’s see what we can brew together.
The Prompt:
“Those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
Need some ideas to get you started?
Here’s some;
What music are you listening to? Who’s watching? Is there even any music? Is anyone singing along with the music?
These ideas don’t need to be taken into consideration, they’re just there to help spur your mind through writer’s block. Take the quote where ever you feel fits best for you, as a writer. I look forward to reading your responses! Cheers!

/ February 13, 2013Hi Jeremiah and readers! Here’s a link to my poem: http://midnightsolace.tumblr.com/post/43011007698. It was inspired by the prompt but ended up becoming only tangentially related. Thanks for the prompt, it’s a beautiful quote.

/ February 14, 2013Wonderful! I’ve put the link in the post. I’m glad you enjoyed. A friend shared the quote with me the other day, and it struck me strongly. Cheers!
