It’s a busy week for those in the United States. With Thanksgiving on Thursday and many people travelling to be with family, Black Friday shopping for those of you who are into that (definitely not for me!), and the official start of Christmas preparations, there’s a lot going on. And here in the Midwest, winter has started to take hold.
With the busyness of the holiday season and the winter doldrums for some, writing can often get pushed aside. This week’s writing prompts are meant to be quick and easy, a little creative moment in an otherwise hectic, and potentially stressful, week.
Happy writing!

Describe a time when you were afraid to do something, but after you did it, you realized the benefit of trying something new and/or taking a risk.

For those in the United States – What are your family’s Thanksgiving traditions? Do you have a traditional meal or do you enjoy alternate meal ideas?

FRIDAY
What are your favorite activities for a cold, winter day? Do you stay in and watch movies or read a book? Do you brave the weather and go play in the snow? Or, if you live in a warmer climate, what do you enjoy about not having a real winter? Do you wish you got snow occasionally?
