Here's a selection of the daily writing prompts I've been putting up on Twitter. Take one day by day if you like, or use them all in one piece (I'd like to see that!), or give yourself ten minutes for each one and have an hour writing marathon, but most of all enjoy!
* Today she will swim to work....
* Early Girl, Cherry and Big Boy fight it out in the tomato patch...
* Two or three things I know for sure (D Allison)...
* The worst pun I have ever heard...
* She has decided to get her life sponsored ...
* Ice cream stick art...

TWITTER WRITING PROMPTS
I've got a bit lost with putting up on here my daily writing prompts from Twitter, so here's a random selection.
Take, enjoy, write - and don't judge me. It's fiction!

* He thought everyone else would be in fancy dress...
* Stood up by John Logie Baird...
* Things I don't want to own any more...
* The splinter...
* Making breakfast for a stranger ...
* My cupboards have been rearranging themselves without me...
* He has started to dress like Cheryl Cole ...

Twittering...
Back in November I started twittering.
Sort of.
In fact, I just joined up to Twitter and didn't do anything else. It's a bit like how my writing goes some days. I say I'm going to be writing, but really I just hope that the words will spill out on the page without me having to do anything about it. Not even raise a pen. Hmmm... But then I kept getting emails saying people were following me on Twitter. Some of them I knew, some I didn't.
But I still didn't write anything, mainly because of a fear of this ...
HOWEVER... yesterday I met my very cool nephew, Nick, in Oxford Street completely by accident. So we went to have a drink and he showed me how his iphone worked. (I looked around the pub at that point and there were - I promise I kid you not - two other men explaining how their phones worked. What is THAT all about?) Anyway, he took a photo of both of us and within a nano-second it was up on facebook...

I'm still wondering why this impressed me so much, but it did. I even checked up when I got home, and yep, it was there. See I exist. I was existing yesterday afternoon. And what's more other people can see I exist. Anyway, Nick also said that he had been following me on twitter and, er, how could he put it, but I wasn't all that interesting.
Not all that interesting. A challenge, a challenge. I love a challenge.
So I put up my first post today. About how I am going to Seedy Sunday at Arundel this afternoon. And I should think my next twitter will be about the seeds I swopped there.
Hah, let the twittering commence and we'll see who is interesting or not. All those silent twitterers in my old camp can think they are mysterious, but they will have nothing on me once I get going. I might start talking about how I'm knitting a scarf for George Szirtes next, and the trouble I'm having deciding on a colour scheme. Maybe plans for the next Sarah Party. Or benches I've seen.
So come and follow me, do - http://twitter.com/sarahsalway - but be warned, I'll start following you too...
