CRAZY WRITING PROMPTS = FUN! FUN! FUN!

The creators of this group come up with the words, and, well, sometimes I'm pretty sure there is a lot of drinking involved! For instance, this month's words were: Potvaliant, sweaty and toad. Yes, you ask, what the hell does 'potvaliant' mean! So did most of the F440 folks. Well, I'm not going to tell you...yet.
