There's something so visceral about food, something so universal. I want to hear about an item of food that means a lot to you as a writer, or to your character. I want this writing to be so detailed it's almost revolting. Bring it to life, make us feel like we're there.

Can be a current spouse, a future one, a spiritual one, or a celebrity one! Any style!

Any Style

It's that awkward time when that McHottie you brought home is a McNot-ty in the kitchen! What happens next? Any style

Been feeling uninspired and creatively dulled. Write on the topic and hopefully share the feeling.

(a poem)

What's a decision from your past that you regret? What would you do instead? Any form of writing, winner chosen by likes.

I came to a realization, after the 4th, that the first challenge of inspiration is inherently up to me. Apparently, 4's phrases weren't terribly inspiring, so that's on me. Hopefully this one will go better. Use the phrases below in a unique story or poem which begs a rejoinder of some kind from other Prosers. Responses need not be entered directly into the challenge--feel free to compose your response as a regular post, then put a link to it in the comments of the original piece so we can all find it. One winning original entry and one winning response entry will be blessed with a life-changing $5 prize! That's a whole pizza at Little Caesar's! (Or half a salad... somewhere... where people eat salads.) ______________Here are your challenge phrases: _______________ at your doorstep, Hate's last breath, carry on, alternate truth, the undertaker's dream, backward curiosity, nearing the End of Days, unnatural motives, I think of scales, forever in a ____________ Have fun! And no, "have fun" is not one of the phrases. Ugh... I know at least two of you are going to title your entry Have Fun just to mess with me. You know what? I don't care if you have fun or not--just do the damn challenge!

I try and write for every challenge I can before the dates end. I hope you will take the time to enter this one. I offer you the opportunity to share what in your life right now is a challenge to you personally, and what was something in your 'before' that you thought at that time was just as big of a challenge for you, but now is not? Any form- cause that ripple effect. Winner gets a a gallon of gas- all entries get to inspire and hopefully be inspired.
