Weekly Prompts April 3–9, 2023
Your weekly dose of writing prompts
Hello, my writing warriors. I hope you’re all doing well. I’m not sure how it happened, but I think I missed some days between last week and this one. I’m sure I just posted one of these the other day. Pretty bad when all the days start rolling into one very long day.
I keep thinking spring is supposed to be here, but in my neck of the woods, they’re calling for as much as a foot of snow by the middle of the week. I’m so sick of snow and cold I could scream. As my grandpa used to say, “I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired”.
So, let’s get on with the real reason you’re here. Here are your weekly writing prompts for the week of April 3–9, 2023. Find something to get those creative juices flowing.
