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!

Spring (with thanks to Writing Magazine)


 

Explore themes connected to the new season. Make a list of words and images that you associate with spring: eg new life, buds, eggs, swallows, renewal... how many more can you think of?

When you've finished your list, circle the ones that stand out to you. Then take one as a starting point and begin a new piece of writing in any style or form.
