Is it borrowing or just stealing? I’m not entirely sure but it is not hurting anyone I don’t think and maybe it’s an old and commonly used writing prompt anyway… So I am currently listening on Audible to Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason and so far it is as wonderful as you may have heard that it is. I want to squeeze Martha affectionately of course but I think she’d hate that. In the story her Dad gives her a writing prompt which encourages her to pursue her writing career and it is this…
Write the alphabet down the page and then use a word beginning with each letter of the alphabet to tell a one sentence story. I loved the idea and I have not tried it yet so I am going to produce my first one line story right here right now. Just for you. You are welcome 🙂

*Well. If you could see me now I am honestly crying I am laughing so hard and that in fact was much harder than I thought it would be. Please have a go yourself, it might be the wine I am currently drinking but I enjoyed that so much. Having read it back for the third time my criticism would be that it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, try harder next time.
*I apologise for the absolute nonsense you have just been subjected to.
I hope you enjoyed this little bit of light hearted fun on this Thursday evening and thanks for reading.
