#2 of 642: The Worst Thanksgiving Dish You Ever Had

OK, I’m just two in with these writing prompts and I’m already stumped. This is the strangest topic I’ve ever been asked to write about. The worst Thanksgiving dish I’ve ever had? Really? Hmmmm. Is this intended to be non-fiction? If so, I’ve got nothing for you. No burnt turkeys, lumpy gravy, or Jell-O casserole…

Writing Prompt: No Swimming

It amazes me that it has been deemed necessary to post No Swimming signs around retention ponds. Especially here in Florida, I’ve assumed it’s common knowledge for everyone that standing water, unless fed by a spring, is guaranteed to make you sick with some sort of amoeba or parasite.

Writing Prompt: The Downtown Skyline

This is a photo I took while riding [as passenger] down I-4 on the way to the beach. It feels like it’s practically begging for a story to be written about it. I’m posting it now as inspiration – both for my readers and for myself. My goal is write a piece of flash fiction…
