### 2/5 — Seemed Like A Good Thing

*2021-07-15*

I’ve paid the premium for a year but don’t have access to the prompts. I have reached out and sent emails but this issue has not been addressed for almost 2 months.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear you have trouble accessing the prompts. It seems your email has not gotten through to me. Can you email me at adriaan@writeup.me so we can work out what's happening and how we can fix it? Thanks!
