• Ep 124 - A Kleptomaniac, a canoe, and a window washer. It's writing prompt time.
    Nov 21 2024

    Good Adventures,

    In this episode, it's horror! Lisa and I are joined by author Lacey Gordon. Lisa picked a random page in our Horror Writing Jumpstarts edition and Lacie rolled for:

    A Kleptomaniac, a canoe, and a window washer.

    As usual, we wrote for 30 minutes and I begged for another ten. And I still wrote a tiny story!
