Good Adventures,

Fantasy author AE McKenna returns for a Roll-A-Prompt Writing Jumpstarts session. Today, we used the fantasy edition and rolled for an enchanted wolf, a mound of ash, and a corset. We set the timer for 30 minutes, wrote, and then read! It was a good time. Wanna play too? Try our prompt on your own and let us know how it went, or give us a video reply on Youtube. As always, we invite you to join us in a future session. Just leave an I-wanna-play-too comment.

The Roll-A-Prompt Writing Jumpstarts Series is available directly from us or retailers. If you write by hand, get the paperbacks. If you write electronically, get the ebooks.

You'll find fantasy author AE McKenna here.

Thanks for watching, and go write a good book!
