About the Weekend Writing Prompt

For the first year, the Weekend Writing Prompt consisted of a word prompt and a photo prompt.  They could be used independently or together, in any way the writer wished.  Accompanying each weekend’s prompt was a poetry challenge and a prose challenge.  Some weeks they were related; other weeks they were not.  Taking either (or both) of the challenges was optional.

The writing prompts have not been reproduced here.  We are celebrating the pieces written in response to them rather than the prompts themselves, but should you wish to use them, they can be found here.
