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!

Night Walker

NIGHT WALKER (From Writing Magazine)

What impressions could a person walking alone at night generate for your writing?

Who might the person be?

Why are they alone, and where are they going?

What do they feel, on their own, in the dark?

What can they see, hear, smell, that is different from in daylight?

What does the darkness amplify?

Who might they encounter?

What does the person associate with darkness? 

Is it a comfortable or uncomfortable environment for them? 

What might happen?
