Creative Writing Prompts: February premium
For many people, February is the month of love. For me, it has a significance of a different kind, albeit still heart-related – because February is also International CHD Awareness Month, with 14 February being Sweetheart Day. I’ve put together a set of prompts that riff off all of this. While Valentine’s Day brings with […]
