Hello again! It’s a new week and a new prompt. This time with three words that must be foundations of the story. They cannot simply be included, but must be essential to the tale. And these words are:
1. Arcanum
2. Changling
3. Naif

Jota+ (the “Jota” is pronounced “Iota”) is a free writing app for your phone. It does code or something too, but I only use it for writing, so that is what I’ll focus on. It has other features that you can download for it that automatically integrate into the app; such as spellcheck and voice write.
The spellcheck worked once or twice for me and now gives an error message (it might work only with the paid update now). When it did work, it spellchecked well enough but you couldn’t make changes while it was working. The voice write works beautifully, though.
Jota+ has a bit of a learning curve because some of its features seem hidden or live along routes that don’t make sense. It saves as .txt files which is convenient for transferring to your computer and opening later in Word or Roughdraft. I haven’t tried that yet, but I’ve done it with other programs, so it should work the same. Your saved files can be a bit tricky to find, however, when using the “Open” menu. It basically shows you your phone’s files. All of them.
I’m going to buy the full version and test that one soon. I love this program as is, so I think it’s worth the little it cost for extra features—such as Dropbox integration.
Hey everybody. Welcome back again to another writing prompt. Today it involves soda:
Someone finds a twenty-year-old bottle of soda while helping to clean out a storage closet. They decide to drink it, but what they don’t realize is that it’s not actual soda in the bottle. It’s a potion that’s pretty far gone past it’s expiration date. So, what happens next?
And that’s the prompt for today. Please it enjoy, and, also, please have a nice Labor Day weekend!
I have recently been reading “How to Diagnose Your Character: Using Psychology to create an In-Depth Character” by Joshua Hoyt. I am learning so much from this book. An exercise that is given in the book has been so inspiring, I made it our prompt for today! Our prompt is to write a short story that involves NO dialogue. Instead, our tale is to be told through our character(s) body language.
Sounds fun, right? Until next week!
easy reading is damn hard writing
