Weekly Prompts August 22–28, 2022

Your weekly dose of writing prompts

Hello, my lovelies, and welcome to the last full week of August. Wholly Buckets!!! The last week of August??? Already??? Yeppers and I couldn’t be happier. We’ve finally had almost a full week of temperatures that dipped below 95*. I’m not a fan of the cold, but extreme heat is almost as bad. Does that make me a fair-weather friend??

I’m so excited for Autumn. I love it when the trees begin to turn colors and the temperatures start to cool down. That means it’s time for hooded sweatshirts, hot chocolate, and college football. Yes, my friends, I am a huge college football fan. I’m the old broad who stands on her couch screaming at the television. It’s a rush.

Okay, let’s get on with this, shall we? Here are your weekly writing prompts for August 22–28, 2022. Jump in and have fun.
