This year I have a personal goal to do more writing “play”, and so I’m creating weekly prompts for myself which I’ll also share online, in case you’d like to join me. Teachers, you’re welcome to have your classes write with me too! I’m calling this practice Writing Prompt Wednesday and will post the prompts on my website, Instagram, Blue Sky, and Substack.

This week’s writing prompt is about receiving a mystery letter. Is this a note from a secret admirer? An invitation to a party? A request from a neighbor? As I mull over what to write for this prompt, I’m thinking about scenarios where there would be conflict or tension between two characters and how that might be communicated via a letter. I’ll share my response on Substack next week.

You can find previous prompts and my responses here.
