Guests David Oakley and Jessica Sinclair join hosts Letty Butler and Stephen Mellor in a podcast with a difference, for writers and readers alike. In this episode, Letty hosts, and David, Jess and Stephen respond live, against the clock, to a series of writing prompts, as well as discussing the highs and lows and challenges of being a writer, where inspiration strikes and what the future holds.

The prompts were taken from The Writers Toolbox, by Jamie Cat Callan, and were: 200 words on the pre-prepared prompt of ‘There Were 17 Cats in Larry’s Basement.’ They then have three minutes to respond to ‘I Decided The Only Solution Was to Seduce Him,’ and one minute to respond to ‘A Half-Eaten Tangerine.’

More info about the hosts and guests can be found at www.prompetyprompt.com, including highlights from the prompts, or by following the links for Letty Butler, Stephen Mellor, Jess Sinclair, and David Oakley.

Why not have a go at the prompts yourself (but don’t forget to time yourself, and no cheating!) and send us your own responses at prompetyprompt@gmail.com or via twitter.com/prompetyprompt & instagram.com/prompetyprompt You never know, you might feature in a later show.
