Hello and welcome back to Writing Prompt Friday! It’s been a four-day work week, but it’s also been so busy it’s felt like a ten-day work week. These are the types of weeks that make the brain work fast and furious. So, of course, it wanders from time to time to take a break.

This week’s writing prompt is brought to you by one of those brain wanderings…

Write Gollum's Love StoryWrite a love story for Gollum.

Bonus points for also writing his online dating profile.

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!
