Don’t need permission to do writing prompts on the list, smile. But as Chris points out, it’s never caught on in the past. That being said, those who want to do a prompt and post it, feel free.

We could do it anyway, although I’m guessing participation would be minimal. We’ve done prompts in the past, and it doesn’t seem to catch on.

Hi Chris,
We could do this on this list if it is okay with our president, 😊. It also might help with content for future writing contests.
Best,
Annie

Thanks, Ann. There are a number of excellent prompts here. Several years ago I belonged to an active online writing group and we did a number of prompts, and I really enjoyed seeing how different writers approached the same prompt.
Thanks for sharing.
