Breaking the Block: Exercises in Prompt Fiction

by dixie.do.little

Drabble series based on prompts and inspired by evieeden's The Prompt Sessions. No hard and fast rules, just writing exercises to help me get past a nasty case of writers block. Primarily AU but who knows where the stories will take us. Chapter ratings will be mixed but the overall rating is a big, fat M to stay on the safe side.

15. New Year, New Resolutions

Rated K

Unbeta'd

A/N: This was my response to a 100-word, photo prompt challenge issued The Twilight 25. I validated TT25 entries this past year and really enjoyed it, I read all sorts of stuff I might not have before-some of it I really, really liked ( I love Twilly and without TT25 I'd never of found her-she's quirky and I like it) and some other stuff that I didn't like so much (but I find stuff I don't like when I'm fic-diving so meh). I'd paste a link to the site here but y'all know how temperamental this site can be with links so just Google "The Twilight 25" to see the challenge...if you're interested in seeing the prompt that is, if not, then don't and read away. ;)

As she watched the fireworks crack across the midnight-black sky, Bella thought of everything missing from her life: color, passion, love, touch, laughter…and realized that what was missing from her life was life itself. Instead, Bella had allowed herself to become mired down by a deep depression that had sucked the very life out of her…to where Bella wasn't truly living but was instead existing…and she couldn't bear the thought of another dreary year, another year of responsibility and peering out of her bedroom window and watching the world around her instead of actually participating in it.
