Prompt from The Bones of “Kāneʻohe Town”
Using only the senses, take us on a walking tour of an area important to you or one of your characters. As much as possible, go beyond sight and avoid exposition. Don’t be afraid to play with diction, detail, juxtaposition, and point of view.
Submit in the form below and mahalo for writing with us. Your piece will appear on our Bamboo Shoots page and on the homepage footer!
