Writing Prompt Friday

About Writing Prompt Friday

Every Friday, I offer one writing prompt. It’ll be a phrase, a quote, a “what if” question or an image; whatever I want.

I’ll make them as original as I can. I apologize in advance if I accidentally post an idea someone else already had.

You write at least 500 words (if you want).

You’re welcome to share your story (or not).

If you do want to share, respond in the comments to the original post.

Encouragement is encouraged; trolls will be banned, no questions asked.
