wordwhackerMy month of prompts is complete! That... both felt like a long time, and like it only just started. Time is weird.
I think I've decided to go ahead with a February "spend 10 minutes working on an existing prompt" challenge, which I might expand into longer sessions on Wednesdays and/or Fridays when possible at the create-along. I want to keep it really, really accessible, but with room to flex into a longer writing or planning session if I'm feeling like it. No restrictions on using a different prompt every day, or what kind of work I need to do on it. Anything goes.
And now... THE FINAL PROMPT!
JANUARY THIRTY-FIRST PROMPT:
An addict wants to escape a pool, but they must become what they fear.
This one feels fairly modern - I imagine an addict who is famous, maybe a recovering child star. Used to be cool. Still desperately wants to believe that they're cool, even though the coolness has been burned out of them over the past 20 years of drugs and infamy. And here they are again, stuck in some spa, "recovering". They are starting to realize that their time to go really hard and party is at an end; it isn't even enjoyable anymore. They just want... some stability. Some normalcy. They realize that they want to have a boring life. And they have to accept that they've become what they always turned their nose up at. Someone who isn't trying to have fun 24/7. Someone who is square as hell. What will people think? Of course, it's not as though they don't think they're washed up. Why would we try to please them?
And that's a wrap on the prompts! It's nice to have some things that I know I want to come back to - and, of course, the means to generate as many more as I feel like in the future.
