Hey writers, staring at your blank screen? Stop staring, get writing.

I’ve scoured Medium for upcoming writing prompts and challenges for the week of June 28th. Some are ongoing so you don’t have to worry about a deadline, just jump in. A few do have a deadline so watch for those in the post below.

Freewriting Tips

Pick one prompt that speaks to you. Pick a topic that sparks inspiration.

Turn off ALL distractions. Write in a space where you will not be interrupted.

Set a timer for 25 minutes and write without stopping. No editing. Don’t listen to your inner critic.

Let your words sit.

Go back and edit.

Submit those words!

I wrote this piece one day when I did not know what I wanted to write.

The words “when darkness persists” popped into my head. I’m not sure why, but I kept going.
