Thanks so much Zane! I’ll fix the June date 🤦🏻♀️. And, yes, each month, after we have the Zoom call, we post the writing prompt here on Fictionistas so everyone can participate in the writing even if they can’t make it! So tune back in here next week to get your prompt!
On a side note... I've always thought (and this comment is the first time I'm saying so publicly) of the sour irony of the word "prompt" now being used in the generative AI realm. Of the word now being used not just by the literary community to call for writers to engage in producing a story or poem or other writing, but also by regular people to interact with the likes of ChatGPT and Bard, to elicit a response to whatever question or task they have, be it image, text, code, music or whatever. I realize, of course, that in both cases the word fulfills the task according to its definition, and that words evolve and take on new or different meanings in society, but this particular "evolution" strikes me as particularly lemony.
Not suggesting we give it up of course. Prompt on, writers!
Hey guys this looks like fun, I can't wait to see what the prompt is!
Will we get it without attending the Zoom (that's midnight for me in GMT+2 land)?
Also under your Your Official Invitation to Party heading the first line looks out of date ref June.
