“Write What You Don’t Know”

Prompt Archive

When we teach an in-person workshop, everybody reads what they wrote aloud. To give you a sense of community as you write solo, we’ve included this Prompt Archive, so you can hear what other people wrote to the prompts in Write What You Don’t Know.

And if you’d like more community, please join us on Zoom for the Prompt of the Week. It’s free!

These pieces were written in the same amount of time we gave you, and read aloud by the writers immediately afterward, unedited. They will give you an idea of the power generated by writing in the Imaginative Storm!
