Paris [writing prompt]

PRACTICE

Paris is the City of Light, the city where the great modernists writers lived and met each other, like James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald and more. It’s the city where Ben Franklin did diplomacy and wrote for more than a decade. It’s the city of Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables and Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities. 

Write about Paris. Write for fifteen minutes. When you’re finished, post your practice in the comments section. And if you do post, be sure to give feedback to your fellow writers.

Happy writing!

Bon Voyage [writing prompt]

Some sad news today. Our longtime regular contributor, Sophie Novak, is taking a leave of absence from The Write Practice to visit her family in Macedonia and travel around the Balkans for a few months (she lives in Bath, UK).

At the start of January, another of our longtime contributors, Katie Axelson, left to travel through Central and South America for a year. She’ll be blogging here if you’d like to follow along.

Apparently, if you write for The Write Practice there’s a really good chance you’ll end up travelling the world. So that’s fun.
