The annoying family Christmas letter prompt
Imagine one of those annoying family Xmas letters you get too many of. Where everything seems incredible, unless you read between the colorful lines. Write your main character as a family members who feels cheated by the way it's worded about her/her. Maybe the mom writes the letter in a way that subtly puts her husband down (I'm just saying). Your narrator will be that person, the one who gets put down. Or your narrator can be someone observing this chronic seasonal abuse!
Here's some prompt words to get you going:
wide
Ann Landers
crazy
waving
renter
patch
baggy
fidgety
curb
growl
squeeze
numb
brows
big deal
