[stylist] December Telephone gathering

[Angela Fowler]

I like the idea of weekly prompts, it gives us more freedom. A song title
could be made into a short story or an essay, a poem even, and the topic
would be only as limited as the writers' imagination, which is not limited
at all. 
Here's wishing all of you a safe New Years Eve in good company, and a happy
and prosperous 2010.

How about this;
A weekly prompt, for example, "Night Music," or similar, and a suggested 
word limit of 500 words or so.   in one group, we used song titles.

Alternately, we can have someone (a different someone each week) furnish the
first line of a story, and ask others to turn it into a short story.
