Writing Prompts: Office Supplies
Today we are going to experiment with using props in our stories. Those staplers and paperclips sitting in the office supply closet have much more potential than simply holding loose papers together. They can be catalysts to a life changing event for your characters or the glue (figuratively speaking) that keeps the story together.
1. Write about the “The Great Paperclip War” where someone loses an eye.
2. As a romantic gesture, a man give a woman he likes a piece of Origami art made from copy paper each day.
3. Write about a murder committed with a stapler.
4. Write about the daily lunchtime office chair races.
5. Write a scene with two corporate executives talking about the future of the company over a game of pencil darts.
