Reading time: 0.29 114 words Hey Reader, It’s Monday, the sun is shining, it’s a perfect Autumn day, and what better conditions than this for a little fun creativity? I have a prompt for you: Have a quick look through your wardrobe and find something you no longer wear that you could sell or donate. Write a really honest, fun description. What kind of vibe does it embody? What could you wear it for? What HAVE you worn it for and what superpowers did it give you (or take away)? For inspiration, check out Fashion Brand Company and their brilliant product descriptions. (I really really want these jeans but the only ones left are for tiny people.) Enjoy! TTFN, Vicky 🫡 p.s. Want my brain on your writing? I’m offering a handful of short consults — 60 minutes — to solve any writing problem you may have. Just £450 +VAT.
