What is the question?
Get your writing group members to find out about each other to prompt new writing, says Julie Phillips

Writers are by nature a nosy lot and this month your writing group can practise using their finely tuned, natural curiosity to their advantage. Have you ever stopped to think about how many questions you ask, are asked or you answer throughout the course of your day? If you are in your workplace or at home, out shopping or relaxing with friends there will be questions galore.
Questions are how we often find out information. If we need something from someone we have to ask them. If we are lost we need to ask for directions – this may be verbally, face-to-face, or digitally via the internet or a search engine or app. If we want to find out what our family want to eat, or where the remote control has disappeared to, we need to ask the question to get the required answer.
