INSTIGATION: TWISTED PROMPTS FOR SICKO WRITERS

+ Write the final scene in a book about Armageddon.
+ In painstakingly close detail, appealing to all five senses, describe
a rotting human head. When you reach the end, reveal the context for its
appearance -- one which sends the reader right back to the beginning.
+ What is the filthiest place you avoid in your day-to-day life? A nasty
corner of the basement? A restroom in your office building? The dump
you drive past on your way to work? Choose the worst. Now imagine that
something evil resides there. Write about its emergence.
