History That Never Was

This cat is mostly in the box.

December, and the end of the year, are creeping up on us! So it’s time for the December 2021 writing prompts.

This month, I’ve got some wintery words, and I’ve also added a bunch of unusual words. Many of these are going to require looking them up to find out what they mean, though some of you might know all the words. (I can say that the unusual word on December 2 is an alternate definition for one of those words.) If you’re looking for an extra challenge, try using one of the unusual words and giving enough context within your piece that the meaning is apparent, but without just stating the definition of the word. It’s harder than you think for some words!

Of course, you don’t have to use the exact words. Perhaps looking up the definition for one of these unusual words will spark another related idea without using the word itself! And as always, some have more than one meaning, which gives you different avenues to approach them from!

Check back on the last Friday of each month (or occasionally the first day of a new month, when that falls on a Friday) for my History That Never Was writing prompts!
