Use these three words to inspire a story:

FLIGHT

ICY

PHONE

At my book launch for my new novel – 40 Things I Want To Tell You – a reader of this blog came up and I promised her a prompt. This one is for you, Stephanie.

Using the following five words somewhere in the text write for twenty minutes and don’t let anything distract you.

PHONE
SHARP
DIRT
CONFESS
WANT

Think about the time between being awake and being asleep. Try to mentally describe those moments when you are neither fully here, nor fully ‘there’. What goes through your mind as you are drifting off? What does it really feel like to be between two worlds? Now write without stopping for fifteen minutes. Don’t think, just write.
