Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
The prompt for this was a little bit different. I asked club members to write the space a character exists in, not the charter themself. I wanted to know them from how they lived. For this prompt I used the characters from my work-in-progress. Evander was a statue and now he is a person and
The prompt for this week was to write in 2nd person. While this was a difficult prompt, there were some fantastic pieces. My favorite might be the one where a club member wrote a choose your own adventure that needed crowd participation. Top tier writing and presentation. Second person generally serves one of two purposes:
While working on a different Kansas post from earlier this year, I realized that I didn’t actually post about visiting Fort Larned National Historic Site in late 2025. I am going to fix that now. Both of these sites are free to visit and are worth the time. Pawnee Rock State Historic Site Before we
The prompt this week was to write a misunderstanding, feel free to intemperate it however you want. I went a bit meta and wrote something that is a bit more of a discussion.

The prompt for this week was to write a poem with sound. I do my best to highlight different literary elements and styles of writing in writing group. Yes, there are open ended prompts but I also like trying to, not teach per se, but to showcase different things that people can include in their
I have too many hobbies, too many things that I want to do. A lot of that involves writing. There is a historical research project I want to work on, there are other stories in my head but before I get to them, I need to finish the current one. To that end, I am
The prompt for this piece was phobia. An open ended prompt where writers could interpret it however they wanted. I should have saved it for October. I was so creeped out by some of these pieces. I’m not great at writing horror but I know plenty of people that are. This short piece did not
