WRITING PROMPTS 2021

Writing prompts are a popular activity at Watford Writers and result in some excellent writing. Some pieces go on to become much larger, expanded, pieces of work. Others lend themselves to new ideas. 


Themes are decided by the group and all genres of writing are encouraged. The work is then read to the group at our meetings and receive constructive critiquing. A very enjoyable time is had by all. 


Below is a selection of Writing Prompts from January 2021 to December 2021.
