Prompt Writing Night

Come participate in the return of an old favorite - Madison West's prompt writing night!

In contrast to our critique sessions on Monday, this evening is for writing in the moment. For each prompt you'll have twenty minutes to come up with a short story, poem, snippet of dialog, satirical complaint letter, unusual cooking recipe, or whatever else that prompt inspires you to write.

Feel free to practice dialog or situations with characters from your primary project, or go for something completely new. If you feel like you've written something worth reading aloud, we'll set aside ten minutes per prompt to see what we came up with, but it should be stressed that there's no obligation to share.

Prompts might be anything from a setup (two strangers meet - each has something the other needs) to a specific character archetype (the con man) to an event (medical diagnosis) to a general theme (surveillance dystopia). If there's a prompt you want to see next week, suggestions are welcome.

See you on Thursday, and happy writing!
