Monday Writing Prompt-Groundhogs
It’s Feb 2nd, known in some parts as Groundhog Day. And no today’s prompt isn’t about whether or not Phil sees his shadow. There’s a movie by the same name where Bill Murray’s character has to relive the same day over and over again. Your character has the same problem. Maybe it’s a mistake from…
