Cheryl, This will be my first attempt at the story starter. Do the prompt words need to be used in the form shown on the list, or is it ok to use another tense (e.g. mulled)?
It sounds like a fun challenge!
Susan
Hi, Susan and everyone....
You may use any form or tense of the given prompt words.
Happy Writing!
Cheryl
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRGHHHHH!!!!! I missed it! How did that happen????? (Aside from the fact that January disappeared without my ever having noticed you'd started up again?????) Phooey.
:-( Oh well. I hope you had a lot of good entries, anyway!
Hugs!
