Let's talk about writing! I'll include some prompt questions below but feel free to discuss whatever crosses your mind :) Please tag me! Barrage of questions in 3...2...1... What are your writing goals for 2022? What are your writing goals in general? What kind of pieces do you love and want to see more of? What do you think is kind of played out? What inspires you? What do you think is painfully boring? Do you want to be commercially successful or do you prefer to keep writing as an unadulterated hobby? What do you consider a hallmark of good writing? What advice would you give to your past creative self or even to other writers?

Write about something you're still holding onto. It can be a memory, person, thing, etc.

I have a friend who plays drums and is at the age where he needs to decide if he will study music or something else. This kid has done nothing since the age of 5 but be a drummer. He still loves it and is passionate about it. Will studying something else interfere with his musical aspirations or be a helpful backup? I want all answers from the practical to the dreamy - and everything in-between.

Write a story centered around a journal found in some disclosed location. It is up to you how you want the story to go.

I am mainly seeking opinion pieces however if you do wish to cite anything please ensure that you provide a citation of any kind at the end of the piece.

How has covid sparked your creative side? Has it negatively impacted your artistic talent? Or has it fueled your passions in a positive way?

I'm curious how everyone is fairing with their sanity.

OKAY this is not about relationships. I want to know your school is closed or not (and with a general location if you don't mind) or just any other details about how you're fairing with the coronavirus. I'm curious about how other people are handling it. I'm only giving this challenge two weeks because that's when my school reopens. (Please enter because I'm so interested in other parts of the world/country!!)

I'm excited to read the ideas that come with this one sentence. You can choose any type of writing style whether it's heartfelt, sad, silly, literally anything. Number one rule: HAVE FUN!

Tell me what time it is right now for you....without actually mentioning the literal time on the clock. Keep us (the readers) guessing!

Tell me what kind of challenges you like to enter. What do you like about challenges? What do you dislike? What subject matters intrigue you the most? How do you prefer the winner be chosen and why? What do you think affects how many likes and views a post or author gets? Do you believe that talent/subject matter is directly correlated to those likes and views? Express yourself freely, don't hold back. And please, don't be a jerk to anyone who disagrees with you.

Tell me the funniest story you can concoct. Please tag me with @HEDunkle. Have fun!

It can be to yourself or others. Include anything you feel is appropriate, and don't hesitate to share something a little more personal. It can be raw emotion, or just a lighthearted piece. I'll be providing a letter that I wrote based off my experiences as well, so again, if you feel comfortable, please don't hesitate to share something more personal. Any style of writing is welcome!

The string of words that you lean on when you're feeling down. The small windows into worlds of wisdom. Sparks of brilliance? Quotes by anyone, yourself included.

Write like your younger self as you relive your first love story. Tag me @demcmurphy I don't want to miss your entries!

What are your thoughts on social media? Love it or hate it?

Autumn is my favorite time of year, and since I have just come back from a 2 day trip to Michigan, this challenge is to write a story or poem whichever you prefer of a trip or location that you have been in for a short visit. The challenge is that, your writing has to be descriptive enough of the location or your experience that you take us with you. Good Luck and...Bon Voyage
