Writing Prompt: What I Want Most This Year

Share with us what you desire most

It’s a little cliche, it’s a little cheesy. But we would love to know: What do you want most this year?

Listen, this is a little different than a New Year’s resolution. I want you to dig deep. I want you to tap into the beautiful well of desires for all that you want most. If you had just one thing fulfilled this year, what would you most want it to be?

Do you have it in mind already? Great. Write about it and tell us. Perhaps we can send prayers to the universe on your behalf to help make it happen.

Not sure yet? That’s completely okay. It’s a new year and a new month, you can take your time. Take a moment to dwell on what really matters to you and then write your heart out.

Ready to write what you want most?

Comment below with your @ handle. I will add you as a writer to Modern Women if you aren’t already.

Once you’re added as a writer, you can submit your draft story. When editing your story, click the … in the top right corner to add to the Modern Women publication.

Formatting Requests

The only request I have is to format the title this way:

What I Want Most This Year: ____________

Include a few words in the blank to summarize what you want. For example, my story is like this:

What I Want Most This Year: A Home

Please also use the tag “Self”. That will organize all these stories in the Self section on Modern Women.

I can’t wait to read all about your ultimate desire for the year. I’m sure our Modern Women community would love to support you in it too.

With love, Megan
