April Writing Prompts:

1. Write about being alone.  Is it frightening? Disorienting? Lonely? Or is it tranquil? A time to regroup and reflect?

2. Though we are unable to meet physically, nature goes on. The sap rises. The trees bud. The mud squelches beneath our feet. Write about Spring and hope. What does Spring mean to you?“

Location:
Youth Services Programming Room
