That’s a good idea
I’d add a variant: write a faux Nostradamus quatrain about a recent event as a basis for an existing or new conspiracy theory
Noted. I'll see if I can incorporate them into a single idea. Keep those wheels turning. All ideas welcome.

I believe my first NaPM was the only one i've completed xD it was fun, lots of bad and some very very good, but I can't remember how I did it. Later stabs were stabs to me, not to the inkpot, as I never could finish xD

A few things...
#1) Thanks to all who have participated so far. It's nice logging in to see what's been posted.
#2) I hope you're all good with the early prompts. I'm on an early morning shift and am ready for bed at an awkward time.
#3) Just a reminder that these threads are always open. Reponses are not limited to the calendar day.

Prompts for the 10th and 11th will be posted later today. The 10th will be an easy one due to the time constraints.

Taking requests for this evenings prompt. Simpler the better. I'm hoping to combine 2 or more ideas into one.

As November comes to a close, I just wanted to thank everyone for their participation. For those who managed 30 in 30 congrats! For those who managed somewhere between 1 and 29, also congrats! (it's far better than not writing.) Also, a reminder that it's perfectly fine to go back to the threads over the coming days if you want to add a poem or a comment. (Keith once posted about 12 poems in one day after NaPM and they were all brilliant.)
Anyway, there's been three days of snow here now, and I'm hopelessly pretending tomorrow is the first of May.

The seasons are a bit of a nuisance. A large rocket, launched with sufficient speed, could straighten the earth's axis and end this whole drama

Thank you for doing this. By the end of the month I was a prompt junkie, waiting impatiently for my fix.
So the prompt is "snow"?

A silent change of scenery
blows in with the snow,
as white disguises greenery
in frozenness below.
