Need some inspiration for Camp NaNoWriMo? Check out my writing prompts! Today's prompt is inspired by the beautiful shores of Cinque Terre, Italy. Prompt: Stacks of houses protruded out of the sea cliffs.... Words: sketch, salt, tail, winding, sharp, stalk My Story Start: My breath caught in my throat and my hands clutched the algae-covered rock I hid behind. I barely heard the waves as they crashed against the cliffs and rocks, the spray coating my face with sticky salt. They were there, clear as the stalks of ferns that surrounded me: the buildings of Astra. I swallowed a sticky mass that had built in my throat. Would the Priests even believe me? I snatched my sketchbook from my bag and sharpened my pencil before rendering a quick drawing of what I saw before it disappeared. I made sure to capture the style of houses, the winding streets, the jetty and high-tailed boats on the mooring. A crab skittered up my algae-covered rock, clacking it's claws at me. A warning. Even the sea knew I was here.
