Writing Prompts for Inspiration

"It is by sitting down to write every morning that one becomes a writer."

    You're welcome! There are a number of though-provoking and inspirational prompts that you've posted.

    I have read that article, and may take down my link, but originally I was just happy to be a part of that list. Something to think about for sure.
