Holidailies Writing Prompts

In case you need some inspiration, Holidailies is offering optional writing prompts. Every day during Holidailies, we'll post a new prompt. Some are holiday related, some are not. You can write about them whenever you like – not just on the day they're posted – or ignore them completely. Check here or on the front page of Holidailies for the prompt of the day.
