Hark! A theme!

This month and next we'll reflect on stories about ourselves – What have you been told? How do you see yourself? How do these impact the way you move through the world?

There's no specific prompt this month, but we'll have one out soon for next!

This month's prompt is to try something new. Get out of your comfort zone. You could shift the tone, structure, rhyming, subject, point of view, etc.

Try writing in second person if you usually write in third. Do you usually rhyme? Try a free verse poem. Sad writers (me) — try something funny!
