The Week 1 Prompt is ...

ERUDITION

Erudition is defined as both "higher education", and "deep, extensive learning". These definitions may imply knowledge gleaned from great books in a formal venue, however, your character(s) could very well be striving for enlightenment at the side of a spiritual mentor, or getting a degree in human foibles while attending the school of hard knocks. Have their instructors been carefully selected or forced upon them? Have their initial goals been drastically altered by external influences or by a shocking, personal revelation? Is ignorance a bliss they regret losing, or do they crave endless instruction? Tell us their story.

SO MANY PROMPTS, SO LITTLE TIME.

Bring your A game! It's time to engage in writerly fistycuffs. :D
bellumina // kendra: Castle/Beckett [....Writer]belluminabyssus on January 2nd, 2012 08:57 pm (UTC)
yes yes yes! are you competing in both?
wordyso_wordy on January 2nd, 2012 09:24 pm (UTC)
I don't know about both. Definitely in all stars. I haven't written in 2 months so I have to blow the dust off my skills. ;)

(Am actually quite nervous. Do you have any ideas yet?)
bellumina // kendra: Matthew Gray Gubler [Ouch.]belluminabyssus on January 3rd, 2012 06:05 pm (UTC)
I have ideas for the "regular" contest, not so much allstars yet... the "regular" might deal with some backstory in my current novel. Otherwise I'm at a loss. yuunaluna and I will be brainstorming soon, though!

How about you? Any ideas?
wordyso_wordy on January 3rd, 2012 07:12 pm (UTC)
You're ambitious for tackling both!

I do. It's just getting started and into that writing groove. I think I'm going to continue a story from last year. Check my journal for details. :)

If you'd like to brainstorm, drop me a message. I love playing bounce around with ideas.
bellumina // kendra: Castle/Beckett [Look]belluminabyssus on January 3rd, 2012 09:10 pm (UTC)
Ooh, I shall, I shall! Perhaps later in the week I'll send a message and we can have a lovely brainstorming session. :)

Yayy! :D

Dear Kathy,

This is one of my favorite words. I might be a little in love with you right now.

Sincerely,

Tox

You've always been a little in love with me. Admit it.

Sincerely,

Kathy <3

;) ;)

... Maybe. But I've been too shy in expressing it until now. After seeing the prompt, I simply couldn't contain it any longer.

I like this thread LOL!

One of two stories could work this prompt very well: malakhim or land of wire.

It's brainstorm time! :D

That's what I'm looking forward to ;)
Lynniepelethetart on January 3rd, 2012 01:16 am (UTC)
Do you wear toe socks? I might be able to manage puffing up a pinky toe hole. :-)
AardvarkArturb_banal on January 4th, 2012 07:13 pm (UTC)
puff away!
Lynnie: dorkpelethetart on January 9th, 2012 11:51 pm (UTC)
Consider the pinky toe of one single toe sock puffed. :)
Lynnie: dorkpelethetart on January 3rd, 2012 01:17 am (UTC)
Spiffy!

That sounds all higher learned, right? ;-) lol

Just above the poll# there is "click here to edit submissions". Click there, and the text box with your entry will pop up... just delete your entry link in the All-Stars and place it in the JFF. If for some reason that doesn't work, no worries, I'll just scoot you into JFF when I post the voting poll.

(By the way, that icon totally made me AWWWwwwww!) :)
