“I… have always known that my destiny was, above all, a literary destiny — that bad things and some good things would happen to me, but that, in the long run, all of it would be converted into words.

✐ Daily Weird Prompt ✐

Crownless

Write about a character who survived the apocalypse, and now lives with a ragtag group. The catch? This character never talks about their past and their life before the apocalypse. Double catch? The reason for their silence is that they were once incredibly wealthy and powerful.

There are no rules to writing. Writing advice is merely that, advice. If you can make your story work, then it works.
