  1. I wrote an outline of a short story using the suggested words. I do enjoy using ‘lists’ as an inspiration for short stories . I was inspired by you Julie, the first time that I joined in Story a day May challenge.
    I often fall back on this technique. Thank you 🙏

  2. My story today was a series of to-do lists from a college student. Every day, she writes “Call Grandma,” but never checks it off. The last day, her list says: “Order plane ticket, Call professors, Pack, Call Grandpa.”
