A Writing Prompt

The Prompt

"Nobody loves you like I do," he said as ....


Some Suggestions and Hints

• Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the prompt, which can be anything from a love scene to a horror scene.
• Who is the "he" and to whom is "he" talking?
• The other person can be a lover, a spouse, a child... even a victim!
• What is his tone of voice?
• Where is he -- physically and emotionally?
• How does he feel about the other person? Does he adore? Feel jealous? Hate?
• Is he protective? Possessive? Imploring? Impassioned?
• Is the other person a man or a woman?
  
• Don’t forget to name these characters; however, don’t wait to write to get the names. Just start writing and the names will most likely come. If they don’t, when you are finished with your first draft, give them names.

When using a writing prompt, don't be slavish to the prompt. Use it as a jumping off point to free the imagination and write about a character and from a point of view you might not come to on your own.

Have Fun!
