I meant to write a nice long post ranting about the sad state of affairs in the world today…but I ran out of time (it IS a big topic, after all), and I’ve got an appointment with a hot, sweaty lecture hall and 80 or so students in about 20 minutes…soooo, here’s a writing prompt instead 🙂

You know the drill: take these elements and sit down and write a new story.  Don’t obsess.  Don’t over-think.  Just do it.  Who knows?  Something glorious may come out.

• Plot element:  something goes “bump” in the night
• Setting:  at sea
• Character:  a clumsy witch
• Wild card:  a family heirloom

Well…have at it, and let me know if you come up with anything good.

Happy writing!
