What's it about?

This blog originally had a very specific purpose: it was a place to post prompts for creative writing during the time of the lockdown. Initially it was for the use of my writing group, as we could not for the time being meet in person - but it's available now to anyone who'd like to have a go at creative writing. I very strongly believe that writing is good for you: while you're writing, you're off somewhere else - you've escaped! So off you go - have fun!

First things first...

 This week, I want you to write about the first time you - or your character - did something. Jot down some possibilities first - eg:

First day at school

First job

First time you bought a dress your mum disapproved of

First time you travelled abroad

Your first home

These are a few examples, but really, the list is endless! Can be a story or a memoir.

My first...mini-skirt.
