Today's Prompt & Bonus Inspiration

Your prompt for Sunday, Janury 3rd is: 

 
SILVER
 
In honor of The Great Gatsby being released into the public domain, a few times in which silver appears in the novel's pages: 
  • "The silver pepper of the stars."
  • "The moon had risen higher, and floating in the Sound was a triangle of silver scales."
  • "A silver curve of the moon hovered already in the western sky."

If you're in the mood to read, rather than write, I recommend this sweet, queer historical romance between an embroiderer and silversmith set in early 19th century New York City. 

Happy creating!
