Writing Prompt #2: Store Scavenger Hunt
52 Stories in 52 Weeks (2023)
It’s week two of the year and an introduction to this year’s ACTIONABLE writing prompts. Why “actionable”/ Well, you are going to have to DO SOMETHING to uncover your prompt. Each month I’ll give you a new action to take to create your prompt, and this week I decided to start easy. I tried to pick an action that might already be in your plans (that won’t always be the case!).
If you aren’t quite ready to take action to uncover your own prompts, then feel free to browse through the ever-growing collection of prompt videos on the YouTube channel that can inspire you right in this moment on the playlist 52 Stories in 52 Weeks - Prompts which has the prompts from challenges going back all the way to 2020! Otherwise, here is this week’s prompt:
