With a nod of thanks to Greg for reminding me about this one, today we return to the Blocks prompt. Looking back at the last time I used this prompt, I'm beginning to think that Greg will be the only reason I ever use it...
Anyway. Your writing today shall include the words: violin, guitar, sun.

The exercise:
Write about: sameness.
Edit: Just realized this is my 3,500th post on DWP. I probably should have come up with a less self-effacing prompt for the occasion...

The exercise:
Time to bring back the First Line Prompt. This time around, begin with: I had a brother, once.
I overheard this at a coffee shop the other day - the speaker was an elderly man and he seemed to be talking with a couple he'd met fairly recently, perhaps even that morning via sharing a table during a busy time at the shop.
I mean no disrespect in using this as a prompt, it's just that the wording caught my attention. I don't think I'd even be using this if he'd said My brother died a long time ago or something like that. This seems to be far more open to interpretation (not that any of the alternatives would make for a bad prompt).
Anyway. Have at it.
