Welcome, A-Z Blogging Challenge friends. This year, my theme is Prompt-a-day, with fun or thought-provoking writing prompts to use as a story start, warm up, or creativity stretching exercise.

Jealousy


Worry about an unfaithful partner gradually grows into paranoia. 


Writing prompts aren't only for beginners. How they can be a helpful tool, no matter where you are in your writing journey: 5 Reasons to Write with Prompts.

  1. Hi Laurel - Jealousy could be spun out fairly easily ... into a horror story - cheers Hilary

  2. Jealousy works well into pretty much any genre as a motive or murder, divorce in any setting or prompting someone to leave on an adventure.
