Welcome, A-Z Blogging Challenge friends. This year, my theme is Prompt-a-day, with fun or thought-provoking writing prompts to use as a story start, warm up, or creativity stretching exercise.

Yucky


Your date decorates his/her living room with jars of diseased livers, animal droppings, or celebrities’ used Kleenex.



Writing prompts can be a helpful tool, no matter where you are in your writing journey. Here's how: 5 Reasons to Write with Prompts.

Looking for more writing inspiration?

Check out my latest release, 1001 Evocative Prompts for Fiction Writers. It will stimulate your thinking wherever you are in your writing journey and get you writing today. It provides story starts and writing inspiration for a wide variety of genres by focusing on emotions, character development, and pivotal moments.

You can face a blank page with confidence when you use these prompts to warm up, beat writer’s block, develop and maintain a writing habit, change up your routine, start a new project, experiment in a new genre, deepen parts of an existing story, or overcome burnout.

    1. One suspects the date wouldn't even make it to one-night-stand status.

    1. The date that started amazingly well could take a sudden turn in a living room like this.

  3. Hi Laurel - that is yuck, yuck, yuck ... I'd be out of the door - unless I knew he was some kind of really clever scientist and then I don't think I'd fit the bill!! Cheers Hilary

    1. I could imagine a hepatologist having a weird penchant for keeping specimens. It would take someone really special to not be disgusted by his/her hobby.
