This week our prompt comes from Kir of The Kir Corner.
“The cure for anything is salt water….sweat, tears or the sea.”
~ Isak Dinesen, pseudonym of Baroness Karen von Blixen-Finecke
For your Creative Non-Fiction tell us about the last time that one of these three things “cured” you. If you are going with Fiction, have your character resolve a problem using one of the three (or all three!!!). There are so many ways you can use this prompt so be creative with it, don’t take us where we think you’ll go.
Word Limit is 300.
Link up with us on Friday’s post.











Well, this is just super clever.
Very inventive prompt. You didn’t paint us into a corner, you gave us a canvas a whole bunch of paint.
Love it
I saw a poster with these beautiful words earlier in the week, maybe on Pinterest? Looking forward to writing it out and seeing what everyone else contributes!
Hi – if I choose creative non-fiction, does the salt water have to “cure” me – or can it be curing someone else?
As always, our prompts are a jumping off place, and open to interpretation.
