Friday writing prompt
Your weekend assignment + your discount code for the new Reading the Comments Podcast
Happy Friday, friends. At the bottom of this post, you will find a discount code for my new podcast
! You can read all about the pod here:
As a thank you to paid subscribers, below you will also find your weekly writing prompt. I hope you’ll use the prompt this weekend and post a paragraph of what you come up with and/or just share a bit about how the writing went.
These prompts are accessible to all paid subscribers as a little treat for what they/you make possible. If you’ve taken a class with me before, you know the drill: take what feels generative for you, toss out the rest. These prompts are just to get you going, whether you feel stuck on a current project, want to explore writing in new directions, or just want to write something this weekend and don’t know how to begin. There is no right or wrong way to do this.
Please keep these prompts within our community. They have been acquired over many years of teaching, and I use them in my classes. I offer them as a thank you to paid subscribers for the ongoing support.
