Here in the United States, we’re about to celebrate the day of our Independence. And though it’s a nationwide celebration, it’s the little parties and get-togethers that make it such a special occasion. So here’s to time well spent with friends and family, and to all the little things that make life worth living.

July’s Writing Prompts:

Bedtime Stories ~~~A little something for the little ones~~~ Write about some of the best holidays and celebrations for children from around the world.

These prompts are yours to use at your discretion. Use them to gain inspiration, to gain knowledge, or become the next big thing. If you do end up becoming a million dollar book seller or marketer, all we ask is a cup of coffee down the road.

We invite you to add your writings from these prompts here at Writing Together. Check out the submission guidelines and be sure to use the tag “prompt” so we know where you got your ideas. We’d love to see what you come up with from these prompts.

May all your dreams come true. Happy Writing!!
