Yes! A themed post. Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! A general season's greeting to all.
What a year it's been. This time last year I was unpublished. I started this blog/newsletter a little over a year ago to track what I was learning in a way that would allow people to learn with me.
And now I've been published a few times! And I self-published a short story collection! I still have much to learn, but I have made a ton of progress this past year. I hope you have, too.
So, anyway, happy holidays, and here are 20 winter-themed writing prompts to put you in a seasonal mood:

You are stuck in a cabin during a blizzard when the power goes out and a figure appears outside the door.
