Prompted: #1
PROMPTED: INTRODUCTION I'm new here, but I'm a fan of writing prompts (I have a few things to say about them HERE) and I'm a fan of creating community and uplifting other writers. So, I thought I'd attempt to host a writing challenge (unofficial). If it gets enough interest, I hope to make this a regular monthly exercise. I welcome your feedback and encourage you to join in the fun.

Adopt These Small Writing Tricks to Make Your Writing Better
Writing is one of those things that can't simply be learned through placing a large novel under your pillow at night and hoping the ability to weave stories will seep through the pages, into your pillow, and find its way into your creative brain.

Tiny Beautiful Resolutions
On the first page of my new planner of 2024, it asked "What's your word for this year?" Now we'll come back to what word I picked in a second, but as I started thinking about what word would best encapsulate my intentions for 2024, I thought about the first episode of Tiny Beautiful Things on Hulu, and one part came to mind.
