Think back about …

Since 2015 Retrospect has offered weekly prompts for writers to “think back and share forward” your life stories, memories, thoughts, joys, and sorrows. By publishing stories and comments over these years we have built a thriving community of readers and writers.

Now Retrospect is taking a new turn offering no new prompts, but rather the ability to read past stories from our large archive by searching author’s name or subject, AND the chance to write and publish more new stories of your own. For inspiration see the list of past prompts, then think back and share forward your Writer’s Choice story!

Thanks from the Retrospect Team!
