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!
