A Prompted... Contest Entry25 total reviews
Comment from Debbie Pope
Wow! You went to so much trouble for this contest. You had really good ideas. I particularly like the prompt that deals with the places to travel. I have been thinking about my favorites.
This was really a good post. Excellent suggestions.

Thanx Debbie -- didn't realize this was still posted, but glad you enjoyed! :) ;) When the contest was announced, I just started jotting down things as they came to me so, when i actually sat down to complete the contest entry, I had to CHOOSE!!! lol! They were, however, not the right choices -- wink, wink! :) ;) Thanx , as always, for dropping by. :) :)Yvette
Comment from Pam (respa)
-I really like your proposals, Yvette,
they are all good.
-What sets them apart is your creativity.
-I am not a prose writer, but I found
myself drawn to your topics, especially
the one on the landmarks.
-I also like the listening one, and
the two poetry prompts.
-If I were going to choose one to
write a poem about,"Speak for Me"
appeals to me.
-I hope you win the contest, as your
entries deserve recognition.

Wow, Pam -- so glad you enjoyed, and thank you so very much for those wonderful stars! :) ;) You know, when the contest was announced a few weeks ago, I just started jotting down things as they came to me so, when i actually sat down to complete the contest entry, I had to CHOOSE!!! lol! Really appreciate your stopping in for the read and review today - means a lot that you took the time to do so! :) ;) Here's wishing for you a weekend that includes cooling evenings and front-porch fireflies! :) ;) Yvette

You are very welcome and deserving of the stars and review, Yvette. Your background work paid off!

Hello Yvette,
You've got some excellent suggestions here.
"Are you listening to me?" is much more reality than fantasy.
A bit of Big Brother. Great prompt for a story.
"Speak for me." opens up to imagination.
All the prompts are well chosen.
Good luck in the contest
Robert

Comment from tempeste
My second last vote is going to you.
You have a very creative, mind ..you wrote 5 original proposals ..in particular , I like the one about memories triggered by one or more of our senses and the one on describing a famous landmark which is a blind nominative ...it was a pleasure to see you added , besides the Colosseo di Roma , Il Duomo di Milano ..a stunning gothic cathedral. You are difinitely a person that tends to offer " out of the box " options .
When I read the first proposal " are you listening to me?" I couldn't help laughing ..years ago I put a band-aid over my PC webcam and it's still ther. [biggrin] just in case ....

Comment from MissMerri
There are some excellent suggestions here. I would like to see some of these prompts used, and preferably soon. I found the first idea especially intriguing for a story possibility. (I think you meant to say "it has been speculated," didn't you?) I also liked "Triggered" very much. The possibilities are endless!
I hope this entry does well in this contest. I liked it a lot. MM

Comment from robyn corum
YM,
A great entry for the Prompted contest. Kudos!!
What I like best, I think, is that your inspirational nuggets are so far from our normal fare. I can easily see how these prompts can get the writer's juices flowing and start something fresh and new around here.
Nice! Thanks and good luck!

Comment from Mastery
Hi, Yvette. You do have some dandy ideas here,my friend. I wish I was still writing poetry and short stories, i would jump right on a couple of your ideas.But alas, I only write novels now and they take ll of my time, I'm afraid.
I did think the one with 5500 words was a bit of an extreme length though. ( Maybe not. :)
And I am not sure all aboard know the definition of eschews. LOL I just barely do.
Good job, Yvette. Good luck in the contest. Bob

Thanx, Bob, for checking in....always love to hear from you!! Well, good about the word 'eschews'...maybe they'll look it up - lol! And the 5500 was a max meaning it could be anything under that...so, that pretty much leaves the field wide open when it comes to length. ;) :) Appreciate your time -means a lot that you took the time! ;) ;) Blessings for the rest of the week! Yvette ;)
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Very nice list. I would find some of these difficult, but that's cuz I'm lazy. I especially like the prompt about AI devices listening in to all we say at home... spying, but for whom? Maybe for their own shadow government! :)

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
You made me smile here Yvette. Not sure if you know but Google Home recorded a private conversation between a couple who were complaining about another couple they had just had dinner with, and the system thought the conversation was to be sent to them! A very embarrassing situation occurred, you cannot always trust technology! Anyway, back to your entry, I liked your prompts, all food for thought! Love Dolly x

Thanx Dolly -- and yes, I did, which is why two things are true: first, that's why it made it to the top of my list there, and, second, I will NEVER have one of those things in my house!!! :) ;) You know, when the contest was announced, I just started jotting down things as they came to me so, when i actually sat down to complete the contest entry, I had to CHOOSE!!! lol!

Hi Yvette, I think you have some great ideas here. I liked all three prose prompts. They have great scope. The poem suggestions are very good I think. All the best. Ulla:)))
