This Week's Writing Prompts: Winter Storms: I want to apologize for being MIA in the blog world 

the last couple of weeks.  I took a small break for the holidays, but I have also been super busy freelancing for a big publishing project for a nursing textbook!  More about that journey another time.  Getting back on track this Monday with our writing prompts, this week's theme represents the wild winter storms that most of the US has been experiencing and will be experiencing over the next couple of days.  So, let's get our creativity flowing! 

1. One Winter Night: Start a story with the phrase One winter night.

2. Blizzard Beach: Write a story that takes place in a beach setting during a freak winter blizzard.

3. Winter Retreat: Write a story where the main character and some friends have taken a trip in a remote winter setting for some R&R, but they soon come to realize they are trapped, and time doesn't seem to be moving the way that it should.  

4. The Wolf: This story will be from the point of view of a wolf in a winter storm.  Get creative, is it a werewolf?  A spiritual wolf?  A real wolf?  What are the experiences of the wolf during this winter storm in its habitat?

5. The Way the Wind Blows:  Either start or end your story with the phrase The way the wind blows.

6. Snow Day: A group of teenagers are out of school during a heavy winter snowfall.  Imagine what kind of trouble they may get into.

7. The Drive:  Write a story about a couple, with or without children, that have gotten stuck during a drive in a winter storm.  How will they survive the night stuck on the freezing, deserted road?  Or will they?  

8. Ways of the Wild: Write a story about an epic winter hike on a mountain range.  

9.  Pioneer Winter:  Write a story about a pioneer wagon train trying to survive the winter heading west in the 1800s.

10.  Ice: Write a story where ice is the main subject.  Get creative, it could be an ice storm, a patch of ice, an icy pond, or even an ice sculpture!

I hope you enjoy this week's theme.  If you are stuck in a winter storm this week, stay safe, and write to pass the time!  Share your short stories with us, we would love to hear what you come up with!
