Today is Sir Michael Palin’s birthday.
A perfect excuse for us (if we needed one) to give you another of our themed Prompt Grids.
This one is, of course, a Monty Python themed grid. Roll the die seven times to gather the elements to your story.

Have plenty of fun with it… And give yourself a pat on the back if, like us, you’re a big Python fan and you recognise all the references!
So – roll the die and get writing! (If you don’t have an actual die to hand, you can use this nifty little random generator: www.random.org/dice)
And don’t forget, our short story competitions and flash fiction competitions are always open. Low entry fees, cash prizes, plus publication on our website and possible future print anthologies.
Happy writing!
