about
Prompts
We’ve assembled an archive of nearly 200 writing prompts, which you can respond to in any genre or form. These are located under the “Assignment” category on our Canvas platform.
If you wrote with us previously, we encourage you to revise what you’ve written and to re-see any prompts you may have already responded to with fresh eyes.
Sharing
If you write in response to our prompts, we invite you to share your work and read what others have written in a discussion board format.
Write Time
If you are craving more accountability and structure, we will be hosting free virtual writing sessions over Zoom, a chance to virtually connect with other writers for some dedicated writing time. We will write together on Wednesdays at 7pm EST/EDT. You can join us using this link.
During each session, we will offer a prompt for you to respond to, but you will be free to write anything you wish.
Your host each Wednesday will be Juliet Fletcher, who has been a steadfast member of the Murphy Writing community for many years.
