Letter to me
Music and writing go together for me. I love lyrics that move me and motivate me. Being a Brad Paisely fan, I hear his song "Letter to me" often and I think, what would I want my younger self to know? Write yourself a letter as if you could send it back in time with the knowledge you have now and tell your youthful self what you needed to hear. Take it any direction you want and have fun with it! But remember to be kind to yourself. We all have an inner child that is still relying on it!

NOVEL-A-LONG #1: The Prologue
Hey Prosers! Let’s write a novel! I’ve decided it would be fun to host a series of challenges, each focused on a different step for writing a brand new story. Over the next few months, your story will grow as you process new ideas and be inspired by your fellow writers. We’re in this together! Every two weeks, I will release the next challenge, so try to keep up! Save all your entries and watch them pile up into a fully-fledged novel—written entirely by you! ———— This first challenge is simple: set the stage. Give us a short scene to serve as a prologue to your story. If you have no ideas, start with something you’ve seen today and then watch it transform over the next few months. PLEASE no graphic sex, nudity, or profanity.

Short But Sweet
Write a short, but sweet, story. It doesn't really matter how long it is. The only catch is, there has to be a bad ending. If you choose a happy ending, make sure that there are terrible events in the story. Have fun! (MAKE SURE TO STATE TRIGGERS IF THERE ARE ANY!)

What are you without your problems?
I saw people discussing this question online after a rough day. I thought it might be fun to imagine what you might be like if your problems were gone. The mere idea of what I could be without my problems made me smile a little. I hope it does the same for you. (Problems include but are not limited to: mental illness, harassment/bullying, trama, etc)
