The Writer’s Prompt Prequel

There’s Still Satire on the Table

A crew mate brought to my attention — thank you Jill Ebstein — that there’s still that first prompt hanging out, below deck.

It’s like a Star Wars-out-of-order prompt.

So I’m calling it out here. Also, just to throw up the Jolly Roger and let you all know — there is NEVER a time limit to any of the writers’ prompts I initiate.

Why might that be, matey?

Because, first, I’m the Captain of this ship, and I say so.

And secondly, my prompts are always good ideas, to get your writing juices flowing.

SO, here was the prequel, just in case you missed it — right out of the competition announcement.
