Think back about …

Do you look forward to the lazy days of summer, or are you allergic and dread the pollen?

Are you a skier who “thinks snow,” or do snowy winter days depress you?

Does the first robin of spring and the autumn foliage delight you? If you don’t live in a four season clime, do you miss the seasonal changes?

Think back about The Four Seasons and share forward!

Writer’s Choice

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! Charlie / Dana / Dave /Jim
