WRITING PROMPT
Round Up From Week of Oct 31-Nov 6
Theme: Surprise
This week magically has an eighth day. How will you spend it?
I am so inspired by the writers of Refresh the Soul. If you haven’t poked around the publication and read the works of others, I encourage you to do so.
This is an interfaith publication because I believe that we can learn from each other. It is in the overlaps that we learn that we are not so different, and I learn so much from each of you, so I imagine that you can learn from each other as well.
We are stronger together.
And though this week’s writing prompt might have taken some of you by surprise (pun intended), I always love reading what you, as writers, creatively turn to when there is a writing prompt.
