How many
different ways are there to lead into the Writing Prod?
I don’t
know, but at times I find it difficult to come up with a new one. Just for the
record, this is number forty-five. Which means I’ve been doing this for almost
a year. During that time I have come up with a few ideas that turned into short
stories I submitted for publication and a couple of novel ideas that I
placed on my writing list. This weekly exercise in creativity has certainly been
helpful to me, but what about my readers? Is this feature helpful, or
entertaining, to any of you out there?
Is it time
for me to take a good look at this blog and change things up in a significant
manner? What can I do to improve this blog? What sort of features would make you want to stop by more often? Please post a comment with your thoughts about it.
The prompt
this week is something I call . . . Fairy Bad. Take a fairy tale or a popular
story and write it from the villain’s point of view. If you want a little more
realism in your tale then pick a BIG news story that has happened recently and
work it from the point of view of the least favorable person involved. Make us
understand why that person acted the way they did. Make us believe that they
are not the villain at all; maybe they are just misunderstood and maybe they
are really the victim of unfavorable press.
Union
Hogs
The
forest used to be a nice place to live. All of the folks got along real well.
Sure there might be a tussle or two at the Spring Spree, but by the time the
Fall Feast rolled around all had been forgiven. Then the Hoggs took over the
south mire. Bought it from their cousins, the three little pigs. Along with
them they brought the Union ; Contractor Local 1372 to be exact. They set to clearing
out the briar patch and that’s when the trouble started. That section of the
woods belonged to Lupa, the wolf, and those Hoggs wanted to build houses there.
Well, you can imagine what happened next.
