  1. Question: if I have an (unpublished) story idea already in progress, would it be okay to adapt it to fit this exercise, or does it need to be an entirely new story using these words as the starting point?

      It can be whatever you want it to be. No rules other than to use each day’s word somewhere in that day’s writing.

  2. I have to admit I don’t often make use of writing prompts. I have to mull over an idea for a while before I get the urge to write, even a short piece. But this is a good idea, Mark, so I’m reposting it.

    irrepairable is not correct.
    You can do either “unrepairable” or “irreparable”
    When referring to physical damage of a man-made object, unrepairable is the appropriate choice. In sentences referring to harm inflicted on a relationship, a circumstance, or the human body, it’s better to use irreparable.

      As I said on the second day post … irreparable (or my preferred spelling irrepairable). I know about the “correct” spelling, but the pronunciation of irreparable is all wrong.

        No worries. I published a novella a couple of years age with the word in the title, intentionally misspelled.
