Writing Prompt Friday (dragon)

WPF Princess Ducky

Hello and welcome back to Writing Prompt Friday! I’m a lifelong learner. A continually curious person. And I’ve learned a few things this week.

  • Never apply liquid eyeliner when the cat’s around.
  • Kind donut shop employees will give me free donuts if I start crying for no reason other than I’m too overwhelmed and exhausted at 5:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning to choose creamer for my coffee.
  • Facebook memes really can spark quality ideas.

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

Write a story about a dragon trying to blow out its birthday candles.
