January 2015 NaHaiWriMo Writing
Prompts
Selected by Michael Dylan Welch
|
The prompts for this month will
all start with the letter N, and each week will have a parts-of-speech theme.
Prompts for the first week will all be adverbs, followed by a week of
adjectives, then nouns, and then verbs, all starting with the letter N.
Please interpret each word in terms of the category it’s offered in, even if
an adjective might also be a noun, or a noun might also be a verb. You can
include the word (or a form of it) in your poem, or let the prompt word take
you in whatever direction you wish.
