Now that it’s officially summer, let’s embrace the heat and incorporate it into our writing this week.

Let’s study some inanimate objects this week. These objects (whichever you choose) will help set a scene. Go!

André Derain, circa 1938-43, Still Life. Oil on canvas. Tate, London.
This week’s prompt is inspired by Christopher McMahon’s monsters (one of which is below). Let’s write about a monster this week, whether it’s a giant moth, a pieced-together frankenstein, or a kid-friendly type. Rawr!
