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! This doesn’t specify “in theaters” and I have watched other movies at home since, but … Continue reading Prompt 181-Movie Review
Prompt 180-Continuation
What book or book series did you wish would continue when you were done reading it? There are so many.

Prompts 178-179: Better Late Than Never?

The storm railed against the tiny fortress, but … Continue reading Prompt 176-Complete The Thought 4
Week 34 – This time for real
I found it! My prompt book was, in fact, at the top of the box I had packed it in, just not the box I thought I had packed it in. Did a little bit more unpacking and arranging this weekend. I probably won't be finished until like February at this rate, but I HAVE … Continue reading Week 34 – This time for real
Pinterest Prompt – Revenge
Max’s eyes shot open and he sat straight up off the hard ground, gasping and coughing. He clutched at the bloody hole in his shirt, feeling unsuccessfully for the edge of the stab wound. It had already stitched itself back together. He’d been out longer than normal. He attempted to get back on his feet, … Continue reading Pinterest Prompt – Revenge
Pin Prompt – Raven Lady
They say there was peace once. They say the world wasn’t so bleak. They say the people used to have the keys to their destinies.
