Writing 101, Day 18
The Neighbor Lady The world always seemed like a less than sturdy place to Addison. He never really found that, day by day, anything stayed very constant. The jobs his mom went to were always changing, right along with the men she brought home. Some were nice and some weren’t, both jobs and men, butContinue reading “Writing 101, Day 18”

Writing 101, Day 15
Today’s Prompt: Think about an event you’ve attended and loved. Your hometown’s annual fair. That life-changing music festival. A conference that shifted your worldview. Imagine you’re told it will be cancelled forever or taken over by an evil corporate force. So, this is ironic, because there’s a chance that’s actually going to happen this year inContinue reading “Writing 101, Day 15”
