Okay, chaps, I get to give the prompt this time. However, it appears that the motivation to elaborate on prompts has recently been eradicated. So I bid all of thee to attempt to write or draw something with relevance to this. Let the games begin. Our three words or phrases for today are:

bagpipes
REM
"We found a witch!" (and, if you wish, "May we burn her?")

Have fun.

sorry i'm so late with this, kids... i forgot that sunday was sunday because of the labor day weekend, and yesterday i was in the car all day and night, driving to atlanta to see the lottapianos tori amos/ben folds show (which was amazing). SO here we are. and if anyone has objections to this prompt, i'll change it. i just thought i'd steal this line from becca's dad. so uh. copyright copyright.

I've just decided to take the prompt business into my own hands this week because of Tarah's urgings. I hope Alanna approves. These words come from my friend Heather and the lovely Tarah. Enjoy kids and get to work! The power's coming back so I expect lots of stuff after the "break":

"delirium,
gloss[y][ed],
chalk"

so i had this idea a week ago, but i hadn't really finalized anything until now. and i still haven't but i'm annoyed at the wait. so here i am. this is a new idea i've had to post a prompt every week. any of you guys who want to can take it, and do what you choose with it. (hey, even if you're not on the site, make something and email me!) i'm giving you three words, and with them, you can write a poem, or a story, or draw/paint/photograph something, or whatever you want. be creative!!
the envelope please.....
...laundromat
...neon
...euphoria

go!!
