We jumped straight into writing together last Saturday, almost as soon as we sat down. For a good twenty minutes everyone was absorbed, head down, scribbling or typing. Members of the group are free to write whatever they like, to respond to a prompt any way they like or not at all. The important thing is to free up the writing muscles and enjoy it. Very often, the writers are surprised and proud of what comes to them. Here are our latest prompts in case something works for you:
‘No one is immune to her power: the gods themselves are as much at risk of falling in love as the rest of us.’
‘The evidence is in, and you are the verdict.’
‘We look before and after/ And pine for what is not’
‘I don’t know nothin’ of what life’s about / just as long as you live, you never find out.’ Don McLean’s song, Wonderful Baby
