Rubber Ducky Copywriter - Writing Prompt Friday

Hello and welcome back to Writing Prompt Friday! This is the week before Tax Day here in the U.S. A week in which procrastinators can’t put off doing their taxes without penalties (been there). And those who’ve done their taxes feel at least a little smug, even if they end up owing the IRS money (done that).

It’s almost like a delayed Groundhog Day, but without freedom from consequences or Bill Murray’s comedic genius.

On to this week’s writing prompt…

Describe your first day after winning the lottery.

Bonus points for including the words mendacious and anfractuous.

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

Yours, Ducky
