The prompt this week was:
If you only had two or three tools, what would they be, and how would you use them?
Put yourself or a character in a situation where they are restricted to using two or three tools. Describe the situation, the tools, their handling of the tools, what they are working on, putting emphasis upon the tools themselves.
The prompt this week was:
What my pet or an animal taught me.
Have you learned a life lesson from your pets or from an encounter with an animal?
Maybe this isn’t about a personal story but an encounter with a pet or animal for another character. What happened? What was the response of the character and the animal? What did they learn?
The prompt this week involved keeping secrets.
You or your character knows something that the family shouldn’t know. Write about how you successfully or unsuccessfully hide the information.
Keeping secrets comes in all shapes, sizes, and flavors, but hiding something from family, people who know you or the character well and share a history, that’s more complicated.
How do they hide the information? Are they successful in doing so? It is important that we know what the secret is or just that something must be hidden from the others? Consider familial events such as family dinner gathers, holidays, or reunions.
