Back To School

OK, so I know it’s not back to school time everywhere (or for everyone), but we’ve all had that clean slate, back to school feeling: starting a new project that is all promise and no disappointment yet; sharpening your new pencils; buying new notebooks; making timetables.

The Prompt

Write a Back To School Story

Tips

• This doesn’t have to be a traditional ‘back to school’. Use this prompt to write any ‘fresh start’ kind of story
• “Back To School” doesn’t always bring a sense of optimism.
• Go beyond the obvious ideas. Dig deep. Try to write something with a rounded character or distinctive voice, or with a twist.

Go!
