Prompts can come from anywhere. Misheard song lyrics, overheard conversations, your own memories, and even lines from antique correspondence can provide

interesting ideas. Everyone has a story, and is a story, and the stories people want to read are, at the root, about themselves.

Some people's stories are a little odd, and that's a wonderful thing. Some people's stories are very odd, and that's even better.

This book of writing prompts is a chance to reach for those stories, to loosen up your creativity in a non-judgemental setting. They are for practice, for giggles even.

Sometimes you have to get silly before you get serious.
