Tuesday Writing Prompt: Thank-you note

Get your creative juices flowing each week with these fun weekly writing prompts and story starters by Brian A. Klems of Writing Day Workshops. The only rules: sit down, start writing, aim for at least 500 words (no upper word limit), and have as much fun as you can with it. 

This week's prompt is:

Someone leaves a wonderful review of your book on Amazon and you recognize the name—it’s someone famous! Write them a letter thanking them for their kind words and also give a wonderful review of their work (no matter what it is).

Brian A. Klems (@BrianKlems) is the co-author of A YEAR OF WRITING PROMPTS: 365 STORY IDEAS FOR HONING YOUR CRAFT AND ELIMINATING WRITER'S BLOCK.

While currently a co-director for Writing day Workshops, he was the online editor of WritersDigest.com for nearly 15 years. Brian’s first book, OH BOY, YOU'RE HAVING A GIRLS: A DAD'S SURVIVAL GUIDE TO RAISING DAUGHTER (Adams Media) received high-level buzz and praise from some of the funniest writers alive, including Dave Barry and Bruce Cameron. Brian is also a proud graduate of the Ohio University E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, a husband, softballer, perennial fantasy sports underachiever, and father of three lovely girls.
