Writing Prompts: Accidental Lawbreaking

Have you ever unintentionally broken the law? A good question. A tricky question. Have I unintentionally broken the law? Off the top of my head, I don’t think so.

Writing Prompts: Glasses versus Contacts

I have worn glasses since… I want to say 12 or 13 years of age. At the latest, I would have been 14. They are such a… non-entity? A natural element? I don’t know how to describe what glasses are to me. They are an everyday part of my life, something I do not think […]

Writing Prompts: Favourite Place

What is your favorite place to go in your city? I don’t really know the answer to this one. Assuming that I cannot say ‘home’ (though home is my absolutely favourite place!), and because whilst I enjoy my job, I will never think of the showroom as a ‘favourite’ place, I need a place that […]
