The wind is chill, but cannot touch the warmth in her chest.

Okay, so there doesn’t seem to be a submit link. I have no idea how long this has been the case! You can still submit by going to http://inspiration-factory.tumblr.com/submit but there’s no easy link there. I’ll have to talk to Candy about changing theme.

We’ll let you know!

Edit: HAH! the problem was no match for my masterful html-fu! (by which i of course mean one of the three tags i know is the one for making links).

So we got some “fanmail” but it asks a question i think people would like to hear the answer to, so…

Hi, I just wanted to say that I love your blog and it really helps me! :) Also, how do you get so many good ideas? Are you naturally good at that or is it easier the more you make prompts? — completewritingaddict

Mostly I get good ideas as a side effect of thinking (I can’t speak for Candy, she’s a creative whirlwind and just as incomprehensible!). The trick for this blog is actually writing them down and making them sound snappy.

I’ve actually found it gets harder as you go. when we started the blog we sat down and in one evening figured out 30 prompts, but as we go along we can’t just put in everything because we want to stay original and not reuse too many ideas.

misssaddi asked: Hey! I've been following your blog for quite a while and I'm absolutely in love with it. It's helped me out so much! Can we still submit prompts? I vaguely remember there being a link for that.

Hey sugar!

There IS supposed to be a submit button, but I understand that it’s disappeared and I’m not sure how to get it back yet. Until then, just submit it in the ask box and I’ll make sure it gets posted.

I’ll make James check it out next time he’s around (he knows more about computers and shit than I do).

She is a sweet, gentle, charming creature with a staggering capacity for cruelty.

Then on Monday the bitch arrived at school with the haircut I had been planning to get.

She carries a sword, because then they think she’s defenceless without it.

The smile hurts, but it’s her only weapon.
