178. If you could be the best in the world at something, what would it be? The easy, obvious answer here is “writing,” but I don’t like it for two reasons. First, that’s a lot of pressure and responsibility. Without divine intervention or blessing, being The Best™ takes a LOT of work.

Prompt 177-Kindness of a Stranger
Write about something nice a stranger did for you. There are two instances that stand out in my mind, both involving flowers and a grocery store.

I made sure the fruits and veggies were stocked and fresh, kept the displays … Continue reading Prompt 177-Kindness of a Stranger
Prompt 176-Complete The Thought 4
Complete this thought: “I would never…” The rain pounded the window, the rivulets twisting and turning down the pane, intersecting and separating in a morose dance. The barren trees creaked and groaned in the howling wind, their branches whipping against the stone walls of the old house. The storm railed against the tiny fortress, but … Continue reading Prompt 176-Complete The Thought 4

High up in the mountains, tucked away in a hidden glade, … Continue reading Pin Prompt – Raven Lady
Pinterest Prompt – Roses
The grandfather clock in the dining room chimed the half hour. The large wooden table carried almost no dust, despite not having seen use in nearly a month. The china in the cabinet was equally clean. The chairs shone with fresh polish, set equal distances around the table. They seemed small, so few. At the … Continue reading Pinterest Prompt – Roses
The Prompts are Back in Town…Sorta
So I haven't been able to find my prompt book yet. I have so many boxes. I thought I knew which box it was in, or at least I thought it was near the top of one of those boxes, but that was a lie. "But Sara, why haven't you unpacked all your books?" I … Continue reading The Prompts are Back in Town…Sorta
