Writing Challenge Reminders and Suggestions

  • Take breaks when needed. Your mental and physical health take priority.

  • You don’t have to adhere strictly to the prompt if your piece is taking you somewhere else.

  • Share and get feedback on your work, even if it's with your cat. You deserve to be heard!

  • Not everything you write has to be perfect. The purpose of this challenge and many others is to generate first drafts to polish later!

  • Skip prompts if they don't jive with your brain. Take what works and release what doesn't.
