Creative Writing

At the beginning, this was meant to be a blog mainly for the purpose of stretching my creative writing muscles and it has changed slightly in that aspect. However, from time to time, posts of challenges, drabbles, random prompts will still fill these pages. So look back and see if anything catches your fancy. Use them as starting off points for your own artistic endeavors.

Each link leads to an example of the prompt. Interpret each prompt and entry however you wish, exercise those writing muscle, stretch your fingers, type or scribble away whether your page be electronic or made of trees.
