Wow, since I recently signed up for Caravan Writers Collective, this is the first roundup I've seen that resulted from the writing prompts! It's intriguing to see how this works. Planning to join you on September 6th. I assume we bring what we wrote based on "Lost + Found"?
Yay!! I know I speak for all of us when I say I'm sooo glad you'll be there. You absolutely can bring what you wrote from the Lost & Found prompt. But/and we'd love to hear anything you're inspired to read that came from any Caravan prompt, workshop, course, salon, or free Saturday Write-In. Or even this post say. Like if you're thinking I wanna write about bears or make a summer playlist. More than anything, we just want to inspire people to write and to get all nerdy about craft and goofy about each other and serious about the work and to gather and hear the words and voices of this beautiful growing community!
Thank you for asking, Jeannie. Absolutely delighted you've joined us. :)
That’s great follow-up information, Holly. I absolutely love your enthusiasm. I’m not sure anyone has demonstrated that level of exuberance about any of my comments on Substack, so your mirth really brightens my day. :)
Hey gang -- you just keep turning out compelling content. Thanks for that! Quick Q: How long do you anticipate the community reading to last. I'm sure I could jump off as needed, but if you have a ballpark end time, I'd love to know. If you don't, no worries.
Hey hey! Thank YOU! Best guess is we'll go 75 minutes or so (this reporter literally didn't consult with the other Caravaners on this - any of y'all got input?) - we'll do a quick round robin of instructor readings & then move to the open mic. But yes, absolutely cool to jump off if you need!

Ha! I’m nothing if not exuberant. 😜
Great prompt. Love seeing the list of writings spawned by the collective prompts/courses/write-ins. Very cool.
Right?! It's terrific to see the variety.
Hope you'll join in if you feel inspired. And we'd love to see you at the reading/celebration Sept 6 if it appeals to you. :)
Just published my essay responding to this prompt
