#PWPoePrompts Week Two

A lot of WIP things this week--my favorite!

#PWPoePrompts Day 8:

I do have a favorite craft book: it’s called “Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction” by John Austin. Weaponized office supplies, people. It doesn’t get better than that (and I just found out there are sequels). pic.twitter.com/wK1aLM7YbT

(Suddenly, the writer realized that "Craft Book" in the #PWPoePrompts Day 8 prompt may have meant WRITING craft. Good thing that he had read Stephen King's "On Writing", arguably the best writing craft book in the universe.) pic.twitter.com/usVkBPR6aY

#PWPoePrompts Day 9

For a modern fiction book, I favor Weir’s “The Martian” for its diverse cast in every sense.

But I admit to The Bible as being my favorite. Considering how country-specific mythological gods could be, a God who calls all the nations is big for diversity.

#PWPoePrompts Day 10

First line of Stormlock: Activation: “The Professor was hiding.”

BONUS – First one-liner: “The point is, by giving you this account, I feel as if I’m inviting a fresh landfill thunderhead to rain down upon my person.”

Someone stop me reading all the #PWPoePrompts MS first lines! I thought I'd feel insecure about my own contribution, but instead... pic.twitter.com/yQk5x96joN

#PWPoePrompts Day 11

Did a MS word search for “fly” and got 22 results, including…

“Just letting you all know that I don’t sparkle in the dark when I fly, OK? That’s a dampening electrical field. Moving on.”

and…

“The next test went splendidly until the flying drones.” pic.twitter.com/UCWaMASFi7

Zamrenom Corsello: INTJ type who’s probably using humor as a coping mechanism and disguise for his machinations. Think a Sherlock/Deadpool hybrid that was raised in a library.#ThursdayAethetic = a short MC video/gif that I made... pic.twitter.com/OyNufnvwsj

Boredom
Cliché
Negaurum Gold
Failure
Having his real plans discovered pic.twitter.com/za6TwCU3jt

#PWPoePrompts Day 13 - Extra

Here's one of MY fears: that my readers will begin to echo my mental editor. pic.twitter.com/eNoabKTD7b

#PWPoePrompts Day 14: Comp titles

...which apparently means "Comparable books to your WIP." So my work tends to smell like:

- THE MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY (Stewart)
- H.I.V.E. (Walden)
- MAZE RUNNER (Dashner)
- PORTAL/PORTAL 2 (Valve)

Strange, one of these is NOT a book... pic.twitter.com/PfPUnugJa2
