Exercise #90: Hodge Podge
Posted 1/14/05
I found this great prompt generator and it still amazes me when I run it. For this exercise, I used the "Sparks on the Go" option, which gives an assortment of the many different things the program does. Not all of them are represented here. Missing are: First Lines, Cliches Starters, Random Story Words and What If Stories.
Please pick one of these to write to per SUB, although you are certainly encouraged to send in more than one SUB!
