What the heck, we haven't done these in a while. The idea is simple. I'll toss out a single line prompt, and... you get to write about it. Some folks will take it as the first line, and continue from there. Others may prefer to embed the prompt in a context, perhaps writing a scene around it. And, naturally, some will simply work the essence of the prompt into their piece, preferring to hint obliquely or even quite blatantly at the idea of the prompt. Basically, feel free to use (or abuse) the prompt any way that suits you, but do try to do a little brainstorming or a little writing with it. So, with that lengthy discussion out of the way, let's see what we might start with today? Oh, how about a classic sort of start? Once upon a time, there was a gingerbread house in the forest. There you go! Now, add some characters (yes, you may add children, a witch, elves, or whatever you like), and tell us what happens in that gingerbread house... Write?
