The Best News & Other Writing Prompts

What's the best news you ever received? Or, perhaps, the best news that a character in one of your stories received? Take ten minutes to freewrite on that prompt or another prompt. Write without stopping and minimize crossing out words. Let the story have its way with you. Just write!

-- The best news I ever received....
-- The vet told Martha, "The good news is that Fluffy is very healthy. The bad news...."
-- Tim heard glass breaking....
-- Combine a roll of paper towels, reading glasses, and a telephone in a story or poem.
-- In the distance....

Great prompts... darn! I have to leave in a few minutes and The vet told Martha, "The good news is that Fluffy is very healthy. The bad news...." makes me want to write!

Don't you just love that complaint!
