Episode 2 – Prompt: Waking Up
This episode features three original short pieces — all sparked by the same prompt: Waking Up.
Each writer began with a 4-minute quick-write, then had three days to shape it into a 600-word story. What emerged are powerful, deeply human stories of courage, resilience, and awakening.
Featuring:
Marcie Harrison — retired journalist and memoirist
Alicia Taylor — poet and storyteller from Winnipeg
Josie Marques — newly retired writer exploring personal storytelling
