    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    We began our Substack, Writing Together with Penny and Darcy, about a year ago and in that time we’ve posted fifty-one weekly prompts and writings. Before that we’d been writing at least weekly, and sometimes more often as we prepared the book, since January 2024. Whew! That’s a lot of writing! We have loved this process. To our amazement, it has become a central part of our lives. We hope that our prompts have been a catalyst for your own stories and writing.We find ourselves at a natural pause

    When Has The Gift Of Closeness Outweighed The Certainty Of Loss? (opens the original)

    Excerpt
