When have you felt like “the new kid?” My new coworkers are all giants. Larger-than-life, living, breathing legends. I’ve never been more scared in my life.

Prompt 183-Redo
If you had a “do-over” button, what one event in your life would you like to have a second chance at? The tower had a new skylight. Accidental explosions are not a castle-approved method of renovating, but they do make quick work of ceilings. I coughed the wood and dust from my lungs as I … Continue reading Prompt 183-Redo

Describe in detail one item that you would love to inherit from a relative, or that you have inherited. Kita sprinted down a narrow alley between two shops in the Royal Merchant’s Quarter, her soft boots nearly soundless against the cobblestone. Her pursuers, by contrast, crashed loudly in the night, the metal plates on their … Continue reading Prompt 182-Inheritance
Prompt 181-Movie Review
Think of the last movie you saw. Write a review of it. I’ve done a couple of these in the past, on Time Well Wasted. I enjoyed writing them, so let’s do another one here on Closet Full of Notebooks!

Prompt 180-Continuation
What book or book series did you wish would continue when you were done reading it? There are so many.

It Is Sunday My Dudes
Hello denizens of the internet! It is the first Sunday of the new year and that means a new update post for Closet Full of Notebooks.

New Year, Same Blog
Happy New Year! I decided to do a reflection/goals post after all. Seemed fitting to ring in the new year with a new blog post, even if it isn’t exactly a prompt. 2018 spanned at least twelve years, but we survived and we’re barreling into 2019 all fired up and ready to kick some ass. … Continue reading New Year, Same Blog
Prompts 178-179: Better Late Than Never?
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. And while there’s … Continue reading Prompts 178-179: Better Late Than Never?
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
