Develop a magic system based on common nervous habits (picking nose cracking knuckles/joints, chewing on nails etc. etc.) For example I would have someone have super strength after cracking their neck, and that would last until they could crack their neck again.

Fire

I've been reading tons of books that deal with gods and myths and all sorts of cool stuff like that, and each and every one has a way that man was given fire. So today's prompt is come up with your own legend or myth of how fire was given, stolen, or forced upon mankind. As a side note I saw two movies this last weekend, A-team, and The Last Airbender. Totally go see the A-Team, and ignore the last airbender, because any shred of directing M. Night Shyamalan just needs to stop what he's doing and throw his money away in other facets because the whole movie business is not showing you the love.

Happy 4th, I mean revolution.

Because the 4th of July celebrates the revolution of the united states colonies from England I thought I'd do a revolution prompt. Write the perspective of the loosing side of a revolution. Now this revolution can be historical, or not, it's all up to you.

Safty pins

You are being chased by a "killer" who uses safety pins as weapon. Only safety pins don't really work to well considering they are safety pins. I know I did two posts today, that's because I won't have access to a computer tomorrow.

Animal

You are receiving animal tenancies. How are they administered and why is this being done?

Zombies, well not really

A morticians van gets stolen with a fresh body inside. What was the reasoning for stealing this van and body? Ransom, DNA, Magic, Zombification, who really knows.

Crafter of the Stars

You are a star crafter. You can create and destroy the stars in the sky with the mere thought. One night the sky goes dark and your precious creations no longer shine for all to see. How do you find out who did this and get your stars to shine once more.

Not who you seem to be.

You are not who you look like, for some reason you look at an impostor in the mirror and all you have is a recording to tell you what is happening and what you have to do.

Medicated America

Today's prompt is: The government of a society medicates the masses so they act like robots. A select few stop taking the medication and become aware of what is going on. What are these people's course of action.

Myths or legends

Today's prompt I got from a podcast that I really like Writing excuses, which talks about writing ideas and the publishing process. The prompt is: Take a myth or legend that is totally off the wall and write as though it is totally true. Example: Cameras can steal your soul.

Useless Monsters

I haven't read certain vampire books that are popular, but I will say I think there are too many vampire/werewolf/monster love books. The prompt for today is: Take a vampire, werewolf, or any other beastie that goes bump in the night, and give them a kind of useless attribute. Example: A vampire that doesn't suck blood, but sucks helium or a were creature that is a were-chinchilla. I hope people are enjoying these as much as I enjoy putting them up.

Room

Today's prompt is : You wake up in a room with one door, and one vent. You need to find out where you are and what they want with you?

Memories

#3 Today's prompt is :You find a box full of mementos but when you open it you become cursed, to live as the person whose memories are in the box. I would love to hear about anyone who is reading these.

Virus of . . .

My Beautiful wife pointed out to me that I wasn't putting ideas up on my blog, but writing prompts. I really didn't argue with her because most of the time she is right. This prompt/idea is : because people don't wash their hands when using the restroom an epidemic virus threatens the inhabitants of the world. What is the virus and how is it overcome?

Ideas!

I was listening to Adventures in SciFi Publishing and Mur Lafferty had this idea to put an Idea for a story on a blog everyday for a year. So I will be trying that and my first idea is your main character has a hyperactive ferret that causes tons of chaos and destruction. Why does this happen and what does it mess up. Hope this gives you a great story idea.

Life in upheavel

Life has some interesting twists and turns she throws at us. For the last month or so we have painted our house, my wife is getting things going for her business, and I have been reading tons. Writing unfortunately has taken the back burner for a bit. Some of the great books I've read have been The Warded Man, Keys to the Demon Prison (fablehaven 5), and City of Ashes just to name a few. My reading, and writing list keeps growing and hopefully it continues that way. Also I'm starting into a new training school to better my financial situation, and hopefully, with a new sleeping schedule I will be able to submit some awesome short stories into some scifi and Fantasy magazines. Sorry there isn't much to this post but it's all the time i have before another week starts.

Paramore, Relient K, and Fun!

Carrie and I had the chance to go to a concert with the three bands mentioned above. All three bands rocked it hard! I recommend seeing all of these bands live and getting their music. It was the best concert I have been to for the longest time.

Good and Bad News

While I am trying to write and read and try to keep my creative juices flow I have had a couple of instances happened. First I started Writing on my Crystal Claw story, and Second my Flash drive got up and walked away. So unfortunately I lost the stuff on my flash drive for now, but I have most of what I have written either on paper or in the computer, so that is the good and bad news. Also currently I am reading the Time Machine and Fablehaven keys to the Demon Prison. Both are great books and I hope to give some reviews on said books when I am finished reading.

Yellowcard "Light Up The Sky"

13th reality

I finished The Blade of Shattered Hope today It was awesome! It is my opinion that James Dashner's books became forces to be reckoned with when the second 13th reality came out and especially when the Maze runner came out. TBOSH was action packed, and full of surprises I highly recommend this book and the series.

Finals are over!

My Brain has gone ping, and now I don't have to think, except I have short stories to write. The revised version of the Riddle of Id will be posted before the end of next week and I should have another short story posted shortly after. I don't know if it will be my "time hole" story or "walking with fate" story. Currently I'm digging the podcasts "Adventures in sci fi publishing" and "writing excuses." These are toatally sweet podcast and worth the time to listen to them. Also I have fininshed some books recently that I totally think people should read. More on that later. Anyway the ping is gone and soon my sanity will return, along with the short stories I will be posting.

The Riddle Of Id

This is a first revision of this story and a renewed version will be posted soon.

The Riddle of Id

I have no Idea how I got to this point, or why I am here. All I know is that I let him out and I don’t know-… well I don’t know what to do. I guess I should start at the beginning and how I got into this whole mess because I have no idea how to get out. My name is Walter Jones and I live with my grandparents on the outskirts of town. I go to Winder Middle School, which is the bane of my existence. I don’t fit in and because of it I get picked on, not only by students but by teachers also. The worst of them all that pick on me is Danny, or Big Dan as his goons call him and every week I become his target. One day right after math I heard Big Dan talking about dropping a stink bomb in his science class right in front of Mr. Greg. In passing under my breath I said to myself “ Yeah right, Dan. You’re as spineless as a jellyfish.” “Spineless as a jellyfish! I’ll make you feel like a jelly fish!” roared Dan. “ Today is Thursday and dumpster day to all our victims, I hope you like dumpster diving.” As I walked away I thought to myself, “Great. Another chameleon day where I need to blend into my surroundings and avoid Big Dan.” As I made the customary run home, hiding behind trashcans and in the shadows, I found an unfamiliar ally that I had never seen before. I heard the goons and ran to find a hiding spot. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted a trunk that looked like it was thrown out of a moving truck and the only thing holding it together was the metal ornamentation on the edges. I dashed to it and climbed in not seeing anyone before I shut the lid. The few seconds I was inside the trunk felt like a lifetime. Or maybe it was that time had stood still. Waiting, listening it sounded like the goons had passed by till I heard a huge “thud” on the top of the trunk. Cursing I kicked the side of the trunk and put my head into my hands. Little did I know what impact my foot had against the side of the trunk. I felt warmth on my face, but I was still enclosed in the trunk I didn’t hear yelling from the gang or Big Dan. Then I lifted my head and saw that the side of the trunk had opened like a door. I pulled myself toward the opening and stretched for a better view. Through the crack I could see a world of strange creatures. I saw hippos with wings, unicorns, dragons, imps, and monkeys with eight legs. I pulled myself out of the trunk and to my amazement there was a sign saying, “Welcome to the Land of Imagination.” Taken aback I looked around and asked myself, “How do I get back home?” Without warning the sign sprouted arms, legs, and a mouth which said to me “The way back home will be three tasks to test your will.”

“What kind of tasks?” I asked.

“The tasks can be found if you mount a flying hippo,” said the sign, having completely disregarded my question. Then the signs arms and legs got sucked back into its body and became a simple sign again. With no other explanation I found a hippo, climbed atop his back and off we went. The air whipped past my head as we flew for what felt like miles and miles. We hit the ground and I fell off the hippo into the dirt and mud. Through the mud my body rolled like a rag doll. The hippo didn’t waste any time and took off like a shot. I stopped rolling just shy of a new sign that said, “Welcome to the Land of Nightmares.” Pulling myself to my feet someone said to me “Looking for the way home?” I looked around and saw a human, or what looked like a human, in a very small cage hanging off of a building. “Yes I am. Can you tell me the way?” I asked. “ The way for you to get home is to face your three greatest fears, two of which are behind me in this building through those doors,” said the man in the cage.

“I just have to face my three greatest fears and I can go home!” I sarcastically quoted back. ”Great, I’ll never get home then.” “How do you know? “ asked the caged man. “Have you ever faced any of your fears?” “No,” I replied. “Then what have you got to lose?” the man pointed out. “Nothing, I guess” I noted to myself as I walked towards the first door, turned the knob and jumped in headfirst.

I found myself after walking through the door, in a huge spacious building. This building had no wall but tons of huge shelves and racks it reminded me of a warehouse. While l walked between the shelves I heard a clamoring of noise it was Big Dan and his gang. Before I could do anything they caught up to me. Big Dan tackled me and yelled at me “ You think you’re so big!”

I retorted, “What are you going to do? Sick your goons on me?”

“No” Big Dan said,” you’re my jelly fish to pummel.”

As he reared back to punch me in the face I yelled and pointed over his left shoulder and yelled, “What in the world is that?!” All of Dan’s goons looked but he didn’t. He replied, “You expect me to fall for a crappy trick like that?” I, through clenched teeth said, “No but I do expect you to wet yourself when you see that minatour!” As he turned to look I threw a strong right hook and caught Big Dan square in the jaw and ran to the nearest rack climbing as high as I could go. At the top of the rack in the midst of the confusion I threw two boxes down onto the ground and yelled “It’s a minatour! “ After I heard the first two boxes thud on the ground I was surprised to hear more even bigger thuds follow them, as though there was some sort of giant in this building. I looked to see where I had thrown the boxes but they where nowhere to be found. Upon a second look I saw a giant creature that had the head of a bison, the arms of a human, and the legs of a bull. It was a minatour and it was attacking Dan and his gang! At that time I had realized that I was still in the world of imagination and Dan and his gang were not entirely real but some of my fears put into physical form so I could face it to get home. After the minatour dispensed with the imaginary bullies he turned to me and said in a loud booming voice, “ You have conquered your fear of standing up for yourself. Only two more fears remain.” As soon as he had finished speaking he collapsed into a pile of books and boxes. I guess that was what was in the boxes I threw. No sooner than the pile of books had stopped moving did I find myself back with that strange man in a cage.

“One fear down and two to go,” I thought to myself as I walked towards the other door. As I stepped through the door there was the strangest sensation, first of tingling, next of lightness. All at once I felt as though I was a being torn from time and space. The very next thing I knew was that I was getting ripped out of the trunk, through which I entered this world, this Land of Imagination, by a police officer. Before I could say or do anything the officer pinned me against his car and started yelling things in my ear,” You are charged with the assault and battery of Arnold Jones.” He then threw me in the back of his car. Sitting there thinking how I couldn’t, I wouldn’t attack my own grandfather. As soon as those thoughts raced through my mind I became frantic, and out of control. I took anything and everything I could get my hands on and destroyed, or tried to destroy it. I punched, kicked, and screamed at the tops of my lungs, but to no avail. Slowly I began to gain control of my emotions and myself though I was still flailing about ripping and tearing at the doors trying to free myself. I tore at the door one last time with full control of my emotion while looking at the floor. When I finally looked up I saw a tear in the door of the police car. At that moment I realized that I was still in the land of imagination, that I really hadn’t been found in the trunk and I really didn’t attack my grandfather, and, ultimately, I had the power to change the course of this event. At that moment I thought of whom in the world could have attacked my imaginary grandfather and suddenly out of the bushes Big Dan emerged and yelled at the officers “You stupid pigs! I was the one who attacked the old man and you guys are idiots.” The police officers after letting me out of the car, chased after Dan. I ran to my grandfather’s house to see how he was doing. When I got there he was on a stretcher. I went up to him and he told me “You have now defeated your second fear, that being the fear of not having the ability to help someone you love because they are out of your reach.” All at once I was again taken from where I stood and brought to that strange building. Both of the doors where now boarded up and the only thing left was the person in the cage.

“Looking for your fear?” said the voice from the cage.

“Yes. Can you tell me where I can find it?” I replied.

“Yes, you can find your fear right here,” said the voice. As he said that the cage lowered. When the hit the ground the whole world around me went dark and all I could see was the cage breaking open and a figure emerging out of it. All of a sudden the words “Who are you?” escaped my mouth, and a reply came from the voice. “Who am I you ask, well shouldn’t you know by now? I am your greatest fear, I am you without mercy, I am an exaggeration of your emotions, I am Id!” spat the voice. “Id what’s an Id” I cried. “I am your Id and an Id is the most primitive of desires, and emotions in you. I live on emotion, I care not for others, I do my own will and will get what I want,” said Id. “What do you want, and why do you need me?” I asked. “Funny you should ask, Walter Jones, I ask you the same thing, what do you want and why do you need me?” Id retorted. “I dunno, I just came to be here and want to go home. As for you I have no idea why I would need or want a monster like you,” I whispered. “I need you to get to your world. I want to take your place, to live through your body but as myself in the real world. Those are the things I want and what I will get in a matter of time. As for you I need you to take my place in that cage, in my subconscious to live till the end of time,” said Id. “No!” I screamed, as I thought of my grandparents with this lunatic. “ I thought if I conquered my three greatest fears I could return home, that was what I was told!” I yelled. “Ah yes the fears, you have mastered two of the three, and because this is your imagination that is what you need to do, but if you cannot defeat you third and greatest fear, which is me, you have to stay here till the end of time,” said id. “So what do I have to do? Fight you?” I asked. “No all you have to do is solve my riddle,” replied Id.

“A battle of wits will now begin

where the loser is caged and freedom the conqueror wins.

Never again will the winner see

the loser’s face but live life worry-free.

In this land the loser will find

the Riddle of Id, a window to my mind,

that says backwards is forwards, and up is down.

Reality and imagination spin round and round.

The riddle will test your emotions great.

You might defeat Id, deciding both our fates.

You make the choice and I’ll tell you what’s true

who’s returning home, me or you.”

Id finished his riddle and stood in front of me with his hands in fists expecting me to pick one. Here is where I began my story and I still don’t know what to do. “Can I ask you questions?” I asked. “Sure” Id said, “Whatever you want.” “So after my choice that is when I receive the consequence of my actions?” I questioned. “Yes,” said Id. “So either I get to go home or stay here in the cage?” I asked. “Yes,” said Id. “Why do you want to go to my world,” I asked. “What makes you want to go back?” questioned Id. “ I uh, I dunno,” I stammered. “That world doesn’t want you, that is how you feel isn’t it,” said Id. “Yes,” I said. “Well then why do you want to go back?” said Id. “ I have no idea,” I stated. “But you still haven’t told me why you want to go.” “I want to go for self gratification, to feed my own ambition, to live out my desires, and to live a life rather than sit in a cage and rot. I also want to go and take advantage of others,” stated Id. “Well if that is your choice it is time to make mine,” I said, as I looked at Ids fists outstretched towards me. “I choose, your heart!” I yelled. Id’s countenance was crushed after I said that. “You have made the right choice and are free to return to your land” Id said. “How did you know what to choose?” Id asked. “My grandfather always told me that my greatest fear could be my greatest foe or biggest help. As I faced my fears I came to that understanding and used it to my strengths,” I said. “For me to return to my own world I would need to know your reason for this charade and understand how you feel and to do that I need your heart,” I said. “I have been outwitted and you are free to return to your world,” proclaimed Id. Immediately after he spoke those words I found myself in the trunk through which I had entered that world, I pulled myself out and found Big Dan standing in front of the trunk with his cronies by his side. “I hope you are ready to eat garbage, because that’s what I’m feeding you tonight!” yelled Dan as his goons laughed. I stood up out of the trunk walked towards Dan till I was inches away from him. He stood at least four inches shorter than I. “What?” yelled Dan. Without missing a beat I punched Dan in the face and knocked him out. His goons all stared, awestruck, and then ran away like little girls. I started walking home to my grandfather’s house and remembered the trunk. I walked over to the trunk and found an old skateboard that had been thrown aside to wheel it home on. I took the trunk home because I knew that my adventures in The Land of Imagination had just begun.

Short Stories

I know I do a lot of ranting and raving, and that will not really change, but from here on out I will be posting short stories and some chapters of some of my stories I am writing. I know that mostly just my friends look at this blog. If you like what you read please tell other people about this blog I would really appreciate it. My next post is a short story I wrote a while ago, but I'm in the process of revising it.

Wow I'm lazy

Has it really been since November when I last posted? Well I'm going to be better. I've been going to school and having fun with our little 11 month old. Currently I'm writing my first story about the battle between Light and Dark. I'm withholding the name because I don't want anyone to take it so currently I'll call it Frost.
