No pressure Nathan. You won’t be judged by the scope or scale of your tragedy or revelation. Knowing you the little bit that I do through your writing, I can imagine you overthink things just like me, and more than likely you have something to write about that’s more subtle and internal. Regardless of what you write for your prompt, no one will ever know. As I’ve thought about writing my own prompt, it’s actually been a good mindfulness exercise to really reflect.
Hooray! I have my prompt ready - it is something quite personal and potentially very emotive, so I am excited to read what the writer does with it. I just hope I can do the author of my prompt justice!
Me, too, Linnhe, in terms of hoping to do the author of the prompt I get justice. Both super excited and a wee bit nervous (OK probably more than a wee bit).
Niccolo, if you will send me an email directly at ben@benwakeman.com I can include you, but you must do that today and you must agree to have your prompt submitted by Friday.
Levent, on Monday afternoon I'll be sending out a link to the form via email where you will submit your prompt. I'll be using the email address you provided when you signed up last week. You will have until December 1st to submit.
What an illustrious list to be part of! Very excited.
Excited for this, but also feeling a little daunted. Perhaps more so by the prompt. Do I have something that's sufficiently "life-changing"? 🤔🤔

Thanks Ben, I appreciate that. And yes, I'm in the overthinker camp with you 😉
So excited! Thanks for doing this, Ben.

I can't wait to see my prompt. I hope my story does it justice!
I'm super excited!
Here we go ..... 🎢
Looking forward to reading these
I’m 1000 words into this and I’m absolutely loving it. Thank you again for organising such a fab writing event 🙏
That’s fantastic! I’m glad you’ve already waded in.
Good thing this party is a potluck! No need to stock up; we'll bring all the food and drink. We might even do the laundry while we're there. 😊
It is kind of a potluck, white elephant gift exchange all rolled into one!
A little scared now...!
You've got nothing to worry about Mya. It's gonna be great.
Hi Ben, did I see somewhere that you will have a place to post our prompts?
Yes, I will sending a link to the prompt submission form Monday afternoon via email.
can I still get in on this? here's my link: https://niccolohilgendorf.substack.com/
thanks!

Very curious to see how this will play out, and of course so excited to be part of this initiative!
Thx
I guess we are now waiting for an email from you to find out how/where to send the prompts... Or did I miss something?
Levent, on Monday afternoon I'll be sending out a link to the form via email where you will submit your prompt. I'll be using the email address you provided when you signed up last week. You will have until December 1st to submit.
