National Blog Posting Month

Topic of the Day

My idea for this thread was that people could add a writing prompt a day for the month of November; if anyone's struggling for ideas on any given day, they can hit this thread for a prompt. Responses in thread should be prompts with dates, not responses to the prompts that people suggest.

...for Thursday, 1 November:

What made you decide to do NaBloPoMo? Did you do it last year, and if you did, how did the experience go for you?

-or-

1 November is an important holiday in several religious traditions, used to honor the dead and hold celebrations for them. How do you honor your dead?

I always think of the house that I lived in for over 10 years when I think about home, and, intriguingly, I also dream about that house when I dream of home. If you do have a specific home-space, paint it for your readers in words. If you don't, talk about that.; ▶ Reply to This
