Written Promptly Together
Spring 2019 Edition
It’s coming…the weather keeps fluctuating in a last attempt to drag us down but — it’s definitely coming…someday soon…I hope!
Springtime, guys!
The time of sunlight, water, growth, baby animals and birds chirping. The time to clear away the past and start fresh. Spring cleaning, anyone?
The end of winter always sort of drags through this month of March, teasing us with sunny days and then shattering our dreams with freezing air and snow again.
The temperature can rise 20 degrees within a day, allowing us to frolic in sweatshirts, before blasting back down 20 degrees the next day. Do I need say it’s a bit miserable readjusting?
Well, let’s power through.
Let’s spend March writing about all things Spring, with hope that the writing can help distract us from the crappy weather while connecting our souls with the feelings of growth and rebirth.
This month, we’re asking for submissions on growth, rebirth, spring, gardening, and whatever it is that represents springtime.
Respond to one of our writing prompts below (or use your own), tag your story with #prompt, submit to Writing Together, and let’s get our Spring content going.
