This week’s prompt for paying subscribers

The last prompt we shared came from The Creative Writing Workbook by John Singleton. How did it go? Did you get some words on paper?

If you’d like to access our previous prompts, you can upgrade your subscription to access past prompts for creatives, and get inspiration direct to your inbox twice a month.
