Well Sean, you’ve done it again. I think I’ll spend this year working through these prompts. I’ll let you know if I come out alive.

Ditto, what Nin and Marilyn say, to the 10th degree! Sean, I’m working through the exercises you’ve suggested. Have only dipped into #1; it has yielded a sentence that I’m pleased to have created. The two words I picked were piano and quilt.

“The mountain softly quilted in down-powdery snow, smoothing jagged ridges and sharp-edged peaks the way music smooths the sharp, pointy contours of a broken heart.”
