Tell me your animal stories + Writing Workshop for Vagabonds.

A Vagabond Voices Writing and Living Prompt

Animal Invitations

Tell me your animal stories tell me as much of yourself as the creatures who stopped you in your tracks, sent you on a quest to nurse a baby bird back to health, to build a home for a lost creature, to witness from a safe distance, far enough to show respect to be reminded of awe and that you are also an animal also a part of the teeming, surprising, mudy, occasionally cruel yet miraculous.

This is my invitation to you. Tell me your animal stories.

We all have them. It’s incredible. If you’re signed up for the newsletter, I’ll be sending out a short series of prompts to help you mine your life and get you remembering your stories.

There is something captivating about animals and the way they cross our paths. Something deep. Something I’d love to hear you write about.

The book behind our inspiration?

There is always a book around here! This month, it is The Year of the Hare by Arto Paasilinna.

Join us for the writing workshop?

If you’d like to sit down among your fellow Vagabonds, pen in hand and…write! Once again, our live events are small, cozy events with limited space…this one is free too.

Sign up for the newsletter before Friday to get an invite. Or sign up to get all of our future invites — like the book chat on Year of the Hare in November.

And now, for our beautiful Vagabond Stories…

Thank you for your stories. I am so amazed that you bring such beautiful things here, to find a home. Reading you this month made me feel happy and humble to be here.

On the theme of “What keeps you writing?”

While there is no requirement here at Vagabond to write to the prompts, I was so glad that some of you answered my question to the universe — and to you.
