Writing Prompts | February 

• Think of your favourite historical figure, write a short passage from the perspective of a loved one – their spouse, their child, their best friend. How are they perceived in their own time, what do you think their day to day would look like outside of what they’re known for?
• You’re a plague carrying flea on a big journey, what does travel look like from your perspective? How far does the journey feel? The size of the carriage you’re in, of those around you?
• Write a short passage as a twin, then switch to the other – how do they see one another, do they differ much or are they the same in nature? Do they share a twin bond or are they pulled apart?

The sessions aim to be as accessible and as affordable as possible, and are aimed at those aged 16 – 30 – that’s not say you have to be in that age bracket to join, it’s just there as a guideance for what types of topics, themes, and books will be discussed.
