Believe it or not, we’re almost to December and the end of the year! I feel like time is flying by this year, though that may just be in comparison to the last couple of years, which each seemed to last about a decade. For this month’s writing prompts, I’ve collected a few different challenges […]

November may be halfway over, but I recently found this list of November writing prompts and really liked what they included!
