Hey Everyone!

Forget where you put your prompts? No problem! Mr. Fersch's writing prompts are all right here. Also, if you need a composition book, we have a few at the public library in the youth department. Don't forget; if you respond to all 73 prompts, (and be better prepared for next year) write a page or more, perhaps including metaphors, similes, or snapshots, then send it, Mr. Fersch will RESPOND to your writing!
