Summary
The January theme for the website's writing community is "Stolen Secrets," encouraging writers to use publicly shared intimate stories as inspiration for their fiction, with a word count range of 100 to 1000 words.
Abstract
The website has announced its first writing theme of 2022, "Stolen Secrets," which invites writers to transform the personal and intimate secrets shared by strangers into fictional narratives. This initiative is not about uncovering hidden truths but rather about using the vulnerabilities that people willingly expose in public as creative kindling. Writers are encouraged to draw from a recent prompt that solicited particularly honest stories, suggesting that those who participated may have their own secrets to contribute. The website's curator will provide tantalizing snippets of these secrets each week to stimulate the writers' imaginations. The guidelines stipulate that submissions must adhere to a Min Max word count policy, with stories ranging from 100 to 1000 words. As the new year begins, the community is wished a Happy New Year, with a reminder to enjoy any remaining holiday time before the writing challenges resume. Additionally, there is a call for support in the form of coffee donations for those who appreciate the website's efforts.
