WoPo originally started as a month long writing drive or prompt a day, initially as a group of friends meeting in coffee shops in Cheltenham here in the UK and our chosen month was Febraury. It then grew into an online presence with a forum and website with writing pledges and everything… but things change and it became apparent that our core group preferred a longer slower pace so we started to spread things out and become a generalised writing prompt and inspiration plateform rather than a timed writing challenge.

But though we don’t focus on that month long writing frenzy it does still exist in that we pop out prompts on various social media platforms and here on the blog, but there are no time constraints or pledges and the forum no longer exists outside of the little group that sometimes still uses the Facebook group.

Here are our current socials.

The twitter/x account is now officially defunct but there are some zines avalible of the prompts that were shared on that plateform.

So on that note we are gearing up for a month of writing prompts – often we post different ones on the different plateforms for those really enthusiastic writers who need a little bit more than one writing exercise a day!

The prompts also stay up after the event so you can work on them at your own pace.
