Writing Prompts 16
I promised myself that I wouldn’t give you to the “April showers” line again this year, but since it’s been raining all day, it’s all I can think about. So I might’ve failed to deliver a pithy intro, but I still have five new writing prompts for you.
-

-
A couple are traveling to spend a holiday with family. They end up getting stranded somewhere along the way. How will they reach their destination now?
-
The main character became a workaholic to meet their parent’s high expectations. That parent has recently passed away. Will the main character finally take time for themselves? Or will old habits die hard?
