@riverflows - glad to see my mate with her name up in lights. Well done mate!
Thanks for your support Timoty... it would be great to see what you come up with to one of these new topics 😁
Thanks so much... I was honestly thrilled!!! It was a fun one to write, though I liked The Bean Pirate more...
;) I really value the creativity of being able to write each week. Having The Ink Well and the CCF prompts happening is really fantastic. Honestly, for me, I think it's that old one, doing the task you get students to do - and seeing it as quite eye-opening.
I have enjoyed each week, blending the implausibility of the prompts into the real makes them all a little bit quirky or fun.
So true re students!! I particularly love these coffee ones. Just wrote mine if you are interested....
Congratulations to all participants and to the winner of the week.
These themes are really crazy 🤣
Thanks for your support Lis!
Yes, they are very different this week. People can be as creative as they like:))
Congratulations to the winners, already my imagination thinking about what I can create with these proposals.
That's great news...Let your imagination run wild, indeed! 😁
Congratulations to the winner @riverflows
So in this time the topic is very funny
Thanks for your support. Yes, the topics are funny this week. It will be interesting to see the different creative ideas:)))
Thanks!
Many congratulations to the winner!!🥳 You did a great job of writing just like all the participants, it was a pleasure to have shared what came out of my crazy imagination haha. This week certainly promises a lot of story with these fun scenarios, best of luck to all!!💕🤗
Thanks for your support and congrats to you too. Your story was great!
We are looking forward to the entries this week, as it should be fun:)
First of all, congratulations @riverflows!
Secondly, I wonder: what good coffee do you drink to come up with such fun and different initiatives every week? I would love to see a post from you and know if you are blue like Avatar in the movie or if are you like the wolves with so much hair everywhere. 😅🤣
Hello @yenmendt
Your comment is so funny. 🤣
I'll let @leaky20 answer your question because this prompt in particular was his creative idea.
Let's wait then, if he answers me when the moon rises, then I'll know he's not blue...😄
Lmao 😂
I don't know how or why I think of such things. They just come to me. Maybe I secretly fantasize about being blue...
😅🤣
Thanks!
