Holy Shit! Three Hundred, do you believe it?
This week’s prompts are at the bottom. Feel free to seize the prompts, twist them, form them, play with them as you will. All comers are welcome. The words below are just practice for me. I had a lot of fun writing them, and you know what I always say, “Practice makes perfect.”

You can start writing whenever you want, just write, get the words down – and have fun! All the best!
