Hi Everybody!
Happy Friday.
I thought we’d change things up this week with a writing prompt. As I mentioned, Missed Connections, by Sophie Blackall, is a wonderful source of writing inspiration.
So, I went to Craigslist and chose an actual missed connection (a woman looking for a man) to use as a writing prompt:
A little over a week ago, you came into my restaurant to order a milkshake. I noticed your flashcards and asked if you were a server. We talked at length about bartending and writing and the fact that you’re older than me. For the record, I don’t care. You should have sealed the deal.
If this is you, you’ll remember my name.
Anyone up for turning this into a scene?
Give it a shot. I dare you! And then come back here and let us know how it went. Brownie points to those who share their actual scenes.
Have fun! 🙂
Melina writes contemporary women’s fiction with a pinch of oregano and a dash of chutzpah. She just returned from a two month trip to Crete and Israel, where she visited family and friends did her best to turn her travels into research and inspiration for her writing.

What a fun writing prompt! 🙂
