PROMPT There is that story of St. Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland. If you had similar powers, what kinds of actual or metaphorical snakes would you want to drive off your life? As I rush to get this finished and posted, I'm going to suggest the most obvious one: I would like to become more organized so I'm not having to rush to meet deadlines at the last minute, I'm slowly-but-surely getting these snakes driven out but, obvious...

PROMPT Write about something that happened when you were eight years old. Here I am running behind again, so I'm just going to have you go here and look for memories to be added about a big deal, a watermelon, a long-distance phone call, an interesting plane ride, an ugly nurse, and others. I'll probably even make up a collection of stories and call it something with eight years old being part of the title. Written By For: ... [Read more]

PROMPT "I keep my heart and soul open to miracles." {x-link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Swayze}Patrick Swayze{/x-link} What is your take on miracles? I agree for the simple reason that, in my opinion, the gift of life is, in and of itself, a miracle. But I also have seen the "traditional" type of miracle as well. While I'm yet to witness a miracle along the lines of Moses being used by God to part The Red Sea or Jesu... [Read more]

PROMPT Prompt: In what ways can you expose yourself to outside ideas, interests, and viewpoints to use in your writing, aside from your reading and the internet?
