We are coming up on a year of writing prompts–isn't it amazing what a passing fancy of an idea can produce if you set your mind to it? Plans are afoot to compile the entire year of them into a book–that's a little project for August, before I take off for Europe. But in the […]

Bon jour! Here is this week's collection of writing prompts, a bit later than usual because I went out to breakfast at my favorite French cafe. And I bought macarons, which are calling to me from the kitchen (they can be a rowdy bunch), but they are for dessert at my sister's dinner tonight. Anyway, […]
Like clockwork, like magic, like butter on bread, here it is, my weekly round-up of writing prompts from my Tumblr blog. I'm in Seattle this weekend, but you should be writing. Kidding! Or not.

This week's collection of writing prompts from my Tumblr blog: #281 If your protagonist could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be? #282 You can’t go home again. Or can you?
