Writing Prompt Friday (pen pals)

WritingPromptDuckyWriter

Hello and welcome back to Writing Prompt Friday! This week I presented a long-time-in-the-making passion project here at work: our brand voice and editorial guide. I’ve been working on it for months and I won’t lie…I was nervous presenting my ‘baby’ to our vice president of marketing and chief marketing officer. I’d put months into this document. By the time I showed them my ‘first’ draft, I’d put it through 13 revisions myself.

But they loved it. It’s out for review and while I await their feedback, I get to bask in the glow of hard job well done. And that’s my win for the week.

That and getting a perfect checkup at the dentist, who gives me a rubber ducky when I’ve been flossing like a good patient.

What’s your big win for the week?

And now, on to this week’s writing prompt.

What if the sun and moon were pen pals?
What would they write each other about?

Bonus points if you let your imagination run totally wild and ignore all rules of grammar and punctuation like you did when you were young.

Bonus points are valid only for self esteem and bragging rights. Not valid for monetary prizes or any tangible goodie here, with any merchant or anywhere on the planet, real or imagined. Non-transferrable. Never expires.

Enjoy!
