Write Now!

This blog started as a 'Lenten Writing Project', where we wrote each day in Lent. Now that Summer is here, let's keep up the discipline of writing with a weekly writing challenge! A prompt will be posted each week and anyone is welcome to join in and post their writing here or participate just by reading it.

Every writer has their own special light to add to this blog and all of your writing offerings are appreciated, whether poetry, prose, essay, thoughts, lists or comments and encouragement.

Mary

There are many people named Mary that play an important role in the Bible.  Which most resonates with you in your life?  Do you identify with one? Is there a non-Biblical Mary in your life who is special to you?  Write about Mary today.

What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

Eleanor Roosevelt has a few quotes about doing the thing that scares you and that it gains you courage and confidence (to greatly paraphrase two very amazing quotes of hers).  Today, write about risks you can take to make the world a better place.  They can be large or small.  Or perhaps they can seem small to an observer, but be large to you.  This is a great prompt to do a freewrite on: write for 10 minutes without stopping or editing yourself and see what comes out.  Then take the good stuff out of that and make something out of it : )
