I just don't have the time or energy for drabbling. Wish I did, that was fun.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Maybe if we called it flash fic, instead, with a 500 word limit? Or, post a bunch of prompts all at once and peck away at them over a month or so?
Or some combination where some prompts are reserved for drabble and others for flash fic.
I would participate. Selfishly. Writing in front of this talented group of writers forces me to be better.

Exactly. And it's go at your own pace, you don't have that pressure to DO IT NOW. Well, that may have just been me.

Because books.
Mondays are my day off -- I'm happy to post prompts on Monday, some for flash fic and some for drabbles (although I think drabbles work better for this board particularly). I miss writing them, too, although I'm never as good at it when I'm the one prompting!

You know what? I will make an effort. Mondays could use some kind of structured break to think about not-work.

I'd be happy to knock out a few drabbles.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'd participate. I need a shove to get going on writing again.

Because books.
I'll brainstorm prompts during work tomorrow.
If they're all related to butter, sugar, or bread, I plead not guilty.

I'm fine with that.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm wordy. 100 is hard for me. 1K is easier. 500 is a good compromise.
