Soooo! To say that I fell a little behind on this is an understatement. However, I’m still going to get all of the prompts up. I’ll be posting some back to back blogs here and getting them up in batches! I really do apologize – between the baby and getting prepped for NaNo (which took most of my free time) I’ve been really busy. However, I’m planning on doing daily update blogs come November, and things are finally starting to get into place with the kiddo (See: He can hold his head up now).
So, anyway. Let’s get these writing prompts going!
Day 8:
At 3 am you wake up out of a very sound sleep. You hear the ice cream truck outside of your house. And you realize, the sound that woke you up, was the sound of your 4 year old daughter, letting the screen down slam, as she left the house.
Day 9:
The man leans into you. There is a dark red almost black color to the whites of his eyes. He is so close his nose is almost touching your nose. You can feel his breath when he says, “We all have it in here. We are all infected.

Well, well! Here we are! As you’ve noticed, I’ve taken to posting two days at a time. My little boy is distracting, and I’m also trying to plot for NaNo! I won’t always do two days together, but I wanted you guys to know that I will always certainly have these up, even if I have to do this a few times.
As a side note, I’m planning on doing these prompts and posting up some of my replies soon! I can’t’ wait to see what you guys come up with for these particular prompts!
So, there we have it! The writing prompts for day 4 and 5! I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with for these! Remember to link back to my blog if you do the prompts, so I can feature you on my weekly sum up post!
