For the writing assignment this week: Have your character stumble upon a truly foolish idea.

Have Your Character Stumble Upon a Truly Foolish Idea

Twenty days until the ball and Bosomella had nothing. But she wasn’t sitting idly by. The little undergarment fairy had made 27 truly high quality bosom blossomers, 5 nearly deadly corsets, and a list of 142 brilliant ideas that would never make Miss Borka dance. She poked at her lip with the quill, leaving another ink spot on her face and wrote down another.

143. Go to the floating monks of Scatchenliklieve

Bosomella shook her head. What a terrible idea. Not only were the floating monks notorious for bestowing “blessings” that made their owners long for a nice innoscent set of curses or cuddly herd of rabid gnashly beasts, but in order to gain an audience you had to send someone through their gates, and after the message was delivered, that someone always died. I must need more protein, she thought. Then she grew completely still as something occurred to her. What if they didn’t actually go through the gate? Hmmmm. What could possibly go wrong.
