Prompts

Have signed up for writing prompts on a website as well. I'll think of them as stretching exercises on the days I go to the gym. :-) Yes, made up. That's fiction.


Ex 2. The name of your best selling novel is, "The numbered ravens..."
What is it about?

A fantastic history is slowly unraveled when Macey, an 11-year old Swiss-British-Spanish girl, lost on her first day of a new school in Basel, stumbles on a curious place. She's found a purple row house alone on a side street with three wooden ravens perched near its second level windows. She discovers in the next few months, further wooden emblems throughout the town. Through her detours and asking the appropriate questions to the right people, she learns more about her Swiss heritage and the legend of ravens in both her "hometowns". Suddenly, by way of her father's family, the curiosity turns into the possible -- Macey could actually inherit the house when she is old enough. What she will do about the legend remains in her hands.
