Hey, my name is Lee Sowder
I'm retired, living in Durham, NC, and have a lifelong love for writing fiction and creative non fiction. I've published one novel, Family Weave, amd one memoir, The Cut and Run Years, and have joined our community to nourish my creative spark. Just as important to me is reading and listening to your work and supporting the community we build here.

Ignition: Prompt 1
PROMPT ONE! What brought you to the fire? 🔥 Take a breath. Imagine you’ve arrived at a gathering at twilight. There’s a circle. A flame. A notebook. A group of kind strangers. Something in you said yes. What brought you here? What are you longing for? What are you hoping to remember, reclaim, release, or begin? Write for 10–15 minutes without stopping, editing, or judging. If you are moved, we would love for you to share so we can welcome you! ❤️‍🔥
