Just about everyone’s seen Star Wars (and if you haven’t stop reading this post and go watch episodes IV-VI right now. RIGHT NOW.). Today’s prompt is inspired by the iconic opening scroll from that series.
Prompt Type: Opening Scroll
Prompt: Think of a project you’ve been working on and put together their opening scroll, their tease of history and hint at what’s to come, a la the Star Wars trilogy.
Alternatively, come up with something entirely new, write their opening scroll, and see what happens next!

And watching the Olympics, because they’re the Olympics and I’m a fan.
