It's been some time since someone on the ship challenged the crew and passengers to a writing prompt so I'm stepping up to have to walk the plank after this one.

Recently, I discovered this fantastically awesome writing prompt blog that includes details on core writing anchors for each prompt. It not just about the creative side of a writing prompt, but also about exploring the type of writing that is needed in certain scenes. Does it need to be persuasive? Informative? Should it develop a narrative that includes clear event sequences?

What do you need a scene to accomplish to more your story forward. This is something I desperately need to work on, the idea that every single scene must move things forward.

So, today I'm offering up this writing prompt to not only stir your creativity, but to also look at it as an exercise in considering at what part of the story is this scene happening and what is your goal with it.
