About my blog

>Prompts will be posted weekly on Sunday night or Monday morning. This eventually might be changed to bi-weekly.

>Prompts consist of two (occasionally one) words that I have taken from the 2006 version of Merriam Webster's Dictionary and Thesaurus. They are the guide words (the words at the top of the pages to help entry searching easier).

>You can interpret the words into your creations however you choose! I'd like both words to be used if two are provided, but you are not obligated to.

>Work can be in any form, not just strictly writing. I'd love to see the creations made based off of my prompts, so please share artwork, writings, etc. with me. @ me on Tumblr or use the tag #dictionaryprompts, and I'll show you some appreciation :) Also, add what number/prompt is was!

>You can go back and do prompts that we've already passed. You're not obligated to do every single prompt.

>I don't own these words, so it is not required for you to give me credit. I'd love it if you would share my blog, though.

>My asks are open for questions and comments. So are my messages. They are not open for prompts, however.

>I made this blog for your and my enjoyment. The only real rule is to have fun <3
