October Writing Prompts
Traditionally, October has been a very significant month. It’s the month I moved from Ohio to California, by myself in a 1971 VW and it’s the month I married my husband. It’s also the month where everything in the garden is harvested, the month I make a huge pot of chili and corn bread and invite friends and family for a casual get together, and it’s the month for celebrating my favorite holiday, Halloween. For this month, I’m continuing with prompts inspired from, Women Know Everything! 3,241 Quips, Quotes & Brilliant Remarks.
