Writing Prompt
You know the drill. Get up, work, go to bed. Surely there’s more? Every revolution was started by someone with a pen and a big idea, now it’s your turn.
Write about a character who’s completely sick to death of the daily routine. Somebody who’s just had enough and wants to turn the whole world upside down. It doesn’t matter how they do it, what they actually want to achieve by doing it, or what’s driven them to this point, as long as their world will never be the same again.
Basically, go wild, the chains are off. Oh and remember, the first rule of this prompt, is never talk about this prompt…
