Head to your
favorite online news source. Pick an article with a headline that grabs you.
Now, write a short story based on the article.
I knew it was going to happen…that I would
come to a writing prompt that I didn’t connect with or felt uninspired to
complete. This is it…at least the first
one. I’m sure there will be others with 365 days of prompts to write through. Being that I have lived overseas with limited
technology the last 17 years, I do not yet have a favorite online news source.
I’m still getting used to how to use my phone and the idea that the news can be
found online instead of through the newspaper or TV. I get up at 4 a.m. every day in order to be
to work before 6, and I still turn on the local news channel on TV in order to
check out the weather and traffic and any other big news. I will read news
articles friends post on Facebook sometimes, but other than that, I don’t go to
the computer to get news. Maybe next year this prompt will be more relevant to
my life as I get used to using wi-fi and the luxuries of technology at
home.
Anyway, I thought this prompt might be the
perfect opportunity to poll my blog and Facebook friends for your favorite
online news source and an article that particularly moved you lately. I would LOVE to hear from you. What news
source do you go to online and if you were going to write about one of the
stories you’ve read lately, what would it be?
