It’s been a long week, and we didn’t get a chance to get started over and over. Now that it’s late, here’s what we’ve got for this week’s Odd Prompt. Our prompt was “At a restaurant, you order calamari. The cloche is lifted, and a talking squid named Calamari gives your table a personalized stand-up …

ATH Writing Challenge
Sarah Hoyt posted a writing challenge in her blog, and since we already posted our weekly Odd Prompts entry (and virtuously turned in our next prompt), I thought I’d give it a swing. The prompt is the picture below, and the instructions specify two paragraphs. It was Sunday in the Green Room. Weekend writers were …
Week 31 of Odd Prompts
When we got the prompt from Odd Prompts this week, we were really startled. You see, this could easily be a description of Jim, and we’ve been planning for a while to write about some of the experiences he’s had over the years, the way they really happened...or not. Nobody really believes them either way. …

Just another Job Search As Tamith rounded the curve to approach the village of …
Week 27 of Odd Prompts

Describe the god, its appearance, and its sphere of influence.” I know some people were interested in what happens next in Daria’s story, but none of …
Week 26 of Odd Prompts
We know this is going to be a little late, but I just found out about the challenge from Cedar. We’re going to give a try at Week 26 of Odd Prompts. We decided to go with this spare prompt: When the cleaning lady went into the bathroom, she was surprised to see someone in …
