Happy weekend—here's to hoping yours is full of written words and charming fall weather. And, perhaps, a story spawning from the following prompt …
WRITING PROMPT:
First Date, Last Day
Feel free to take the following prompt home or post a
response (500 words or fewer, funny, sad or stirring) in the Comments section below.
By posting, you’ll be automatically entered in our
occasional around-the-office swag drawings (check out Friday's post to see what we're going to do about the latest one).
If
you’re having trouble with the
captcha code sticking, e-mail your piece and the prompt to me at
writersdigest@fwmedia.com, with “Promptly” in the subject line, and I’ll
make sure it gets up.
Write a story about a couple on their first date—on the last day of something. (The last day of the year? The last day of a marriage? The last day of the world?)
