THIS WEEK’S WRITING PROMPT

“A group of first responders is a valiance. A group of peaceful protestors is a dream. A group of special education teachers is a transcendence. A group of neonatal ICU nurses is a divinity. A group of hospice workers, a grace.”
– Kathy Fish 

Taking a cue from Kathy Fish’s “Collective Noun for Humans in the Wild,” try writing about an ineffable emotion, such as grief, using a pattern to structure your piece.

Submit your response by Sunday, May 22, 2022. All creative writing responses will be shared on @adkctr4writing and adirondackcenterforwriting.org. Note: You are expected to edit your own submission before sending it.
