Writing Prompt Friday (north star)

Rubber Ducky Copywriter - Writing Prompt FridayHello and welcome back to Writing Prompt Friday! As usual, this week’s prompt is the result of letting my mind wander. Only this time, I wasn’t sitting in traffic. Or doing the dishes or feeding the cat or watering my dying plants. I was just standing outside my front door, looking up.

Amazing thoughts happen when you just look up. Try it. Then let your mind wander and write a 500-word story that starts with…

“North had lost her way.”

Bonus points for including the following quote:

“And what did the North Star tell the Moon last night? He said “I love you!”
― Avijeet Das

Enjoy!
