Your weekly writing prompt #welcometowordcountry

Invent a monster and describe it. Tell where it lives, what it eats, and what it does. Who does it love, can it love? How does it perish, can it perish?

Your weekly writing prompt #welcometowordcountry

Persuade a friend to give up the drugs they may or may not be taking.

Everything in the world feels so big and overwhelming right now. At least that’s how it feels for me. So I might suggest that we try to write into the opposite of that feeling. I might suggest that we write something small. Try a teeny confession. Try a teeny compliment. Write a tiny conversation. A tiny love letter. The littlest ode to the smallest object you love, something that can fit whole in your hand. So much is intangible right now, so consider something you can actually touch, or taste or take with you in your pocket. Conjure that teeny tiniest thing and live with the minutiae of it for a minute. ✨
