The Map Story Starter

Today's writing prompt will start out with dialog. Create a conversation between two characters starting with...

"Cap'n, we found this map on them."

Within the scene, add one sound and one odor or aroma.

Have fun!

Watch for author Donna's Sundblad inspiration fantasy due to be released in time for Christmas.

Written within the allegorical tradition of classics like Pilgrim's Progress, The Inheritance offers a literal but symbolic story for today's fantasy enthusiasts. You'll laugh, experience dangers and snares and witness a budding romance. This cleverly devised tale doesn't tell you what to think, but stimulates thought as to why you believe what you believe in your own quest for the Eternal City. The Inheritance is an ideal discussion starter for youth groups, homeschoolers, and families who enjoy meaningful discussions.

Hey Donna, this was fun. You can see the story I came up with here: http://setonmom.blogspot.com/ It's freewrite but I had fun. Congratulations on Inheritance. I look forward to reading it.

I actually found your story before I arrived at my blog today! You did an excellent job and I think the story has the possibility of becoming a keeper!

LOL, too funny, Donna. I found your comment just before stopping by here. I can't thank you enough for the inspiration you provide through this site. (And I have so much writing to your prompts when I have the time whether or not they grow into something larger.) Definitely keeping this one to file, however in the hopes that the characters will tell me more. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
