Summary

The website outlines a special December schedule for the PW community, focusing on daily fiction writing prompts and weekly poetry challenges, with flexibility for writers to interpret prompts creatively.

Abstract

The PW platform introduces a unique structure for the month of December, where writers are encouraged to engage with fiction prompts on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, while poetry prompts are offered on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. A Weekly Special is posted each Monday, but there will be no Weekend Challenge this month. Writers are invited to use fiction prompts for poetry and vice versa, fostering a flexible environment for creative expression. The current fiction prompt includes a visual aid from Unsplash, with a 500-word limit and an option to write poetry instead, emphasizing the theme of creative freedom without strict restrictions.

Opinions

  • The PW community values flexibility and creativity in writing, as evidenced by the encouragement to use prompts across different genres.
  • The monthly theme and daily prompts are designed to challenge writers and stimulate their imagination within a supportive framework.
  • The absence of a Weekend Challenge for December is a deliberate choice to perhaps allow writers more freedom or to focus on the weekly and daily prompts.
  • The use of visual prompts alongside textual ones indicates a belief in the power of images to inspire narrative and poetic writing.
  • The establishment of a word limit for fiction pieces is intended to hone writers' skills in conciseness and brevity, while the option to write poetry with no length restriction allows for more expansive creative expression.
  • The emphasis on the Monthly Theme suggests that thematic consistency is important for the community's writing focus and engagement.

Welcome to the month of December, PW writers and readers! Things are going to be a bit different around here this month. Mon, Wed, Fri, and Sun will all be fiction! Tues, Thurs, and Sat will all be poetry! There will be a Weekly Special posted every Monday, but there will not be a Weekend Challenge this month. What is going to make December fun is that you may use fiction prompts to write poetry and poetry prompts to write fiction! Or, use the prompts as is. Let’s get on with the prompting, shall we?

Use the picture as a prompt to write a story.

Word Length — 500 words Restriction — word length

You may use the picture to write a poem. Any form, any length.

‘Restrictions’ are to challenge you as a writer. However, with everything else here at PW, use these prompts in any way that allows the creative juices to flow.

Write promptly and enjoy! And don’t forget about the Monthly Theme!
