The Prompts
September 2, 2025
We update these weekly, so you always have a fresh start.
Prompt 1
Write about going to buy new sneakers. Make it interesting.
Prompt 2
Write a poem about walking through a natural setting.
How it works
We write together in 20-minute sprints, starting at 7:30 p.m. Between sprints, we take 20-minute breaks to relax, drink and meet other writers. Running late? No worries — there are agendas at each table that can guide you on which phase of the evening you're arriving to.
