Persuade a friend to give up the drugs they may or may not be taking.

THIS WEEK’S WRITING PROMPT

In Second Place, the recent novel by Rachel Cusk, a woman opens her guest house (“The Second Place”) to an artist for three months, hoping he’ll find a connection between her home and his work. What actually happens is much more confusing and unsettling.

Try writing about a memorable house-guest you’ve had at some point in your life, whether it’s your ex-pat uncle who visited once when you were nine or a visit from an old friend that sparked a new adventure. Remember, fiction is your friend (especially if you’ve got a house-guest story that caused, as the guest in Cusk’s novel did, substantial turmoil).

S ubmit your response by Sunday, August 15, 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.
