The Prompts

October 27, 2026

We update these weekly, so you always have a fresh start.

Prompt 1

You Brighten my Day
You live in a city of towers, where the sunlight never reaches the streets. A forbidden love takes you to the higher floors, where you see the sun for the first time.

Prompt 2

Unnatural Selection
We discover the fountain of eternal youth. But someone figures out that it is all in the mind, a psychological effect. If you stop believing, you start aging again. Would you be a skeptic, or a true believer?

Prompt 3

Dutch Problems
The sea level has risen by 20 meters. Describe a trip to the shops with your rowboat.

How it works

We begin at 19:00, with 20-minute writing sprints at 19:30, 20:30, and 21:30.

What you write, how much you write, and whether you're here more for writing or for socializing, is entirely up to you.

Expect to have a good time, meet interesting people, and get some writing done.
