December Prompts - The MS Greatest Hits '08
Since December is a busy month for everyone, I bring you two prompt sets in one - it’s also a little bit of cheating in this is a Greatest Hits - a collection of some of the hopefully more inspiring prompts that have been posted this year. Clearly if your muse has somehow managed to cover all 24 then you are allowed to use one of them again.
Thanks to all the members for making me feel like this comm. is pretty special. We’re small, but we have fun!
