Send yours in!“I wanted to thank you for sending writing prompts during quarantine. A while back you sent out a call for haiku, and in the middle of the night I went into the studio and wrote. I am making some into paintings. Thank you for connecting and inspiring. What you do for the North Country is important and appreciated.”

“Thank you, and the group of folks at Adirondack Center for Writing, for posting these writing prompts.
I’ve been writing for a long time, nothing major coming out. These help with organizing my
thoughts, giving me (others too!) goals and the opportunity to read some really good work.”
