Weekly Writing Prompt:

Write about a birthday celebration that didn’t go as planned. This could be your birthday, a birthday of a friend or loved one, or even a story that took place during a national holiday-birthday, such as MLK Jr. Day or Independence day (America’s birthday).

Submit your response by Feb 5, 2023 by emailing it directly to info@adirondackcenterforwriting.org. You may copy your text into the body of an email or attach it in a word document. All creative writing responses will be shared on @adkctr4writing and on this website  Note: You are expected to edit your own submission before sending it.
Do you live in the North Country? Got a poem scribbled on a notepad? Maybe the one on your fridge written by your grandkid? Maybe an outtake from your last manuscript? Send it to us! We’ll print and hang hundreds of poems by North Country poets of all ages and experience levels this coming mud season. Find the link in our bio to submit.
