ProsePrompt is back after a much needed hiatus, and bursting with ideas designed to chisel away at even the most resilient writer's block!

It's still the same quality prompt you've come to expect from us here at *ProsePlease but there's also a few new perks that we hope everyone can enjoy and benefit from.

For our nonmembers out there, and those members that have forgotten :

WHAT IS A PROPSEPROMPT?

ProsePrompts are a series of exercises designed to jolt your creative writing processes. We present a concept and it's up to you to write and accomplish the idea. Your prose can be written in any format, genre and length. Also, ProsePrompts are not just open to ProsePlease members but also to the general public.

WHAT ARE THE RULES?

The Golden Rule: All work must be your original creation. Plagiarism of any form will NOT be tolerated.

1. New Prompts are added every two months and remain open for future submissions. Prompts never end nor close.


2. Your submission must include only the elements and requirements of the Prompt that you are submitting to. There is no need to satisfy past or future prompts however, creativity is encouraged.


3. Every two-months, the Section Co-Ordinator will select a submission for Honorable Mentions from any of the prompts listed.


4. You may submit more than one entry per ProsePrompt and enter as many ProsePrompts as you like.


5. ProsePrompts are open to everyone, not just ProsePlease members


6. HAVE FUN!

WHAT'S THE PRIZE?

How about....that warm and fuzzy feeling you get from accomplishing a challenge? No? Ok how about:

After the Prompt ends, the Section Coordinator will select an Honorable Mention based on which submission best satisfied the Prompt. This person will be featured on the front page of the following *ProsePlease journal and also get a permanent spot under the prompt on the ProsePrompt page.

But that's not all, even if you didn't snag an Honorable Mention spot, our Section Coordinator will also feature a few participants on her journal. Now isn't that exciting? On to the prompt

SEPTEMBER PROMPT

We're doing things a little different this month just to jumpstart our new initiative and get you guys to do a bit of introspection for this one month only prompt.

This time we're focusing on the theme of Identity using your (or someone else's) dA username as the prompt. The only rule is that it must be a valid dA account name and you must specify the username that inspired your piece in the description.

If your using someone else as your inspiration, let them know! Spread the love and maybe find out the real story behind the inspiration.

Not quite sure how to tackle this one? Head on over to the ProsePrompt Archive and check out previous submissions.

HOW DO I SUBMIT MY STORY?

Note the club with "(month) ProsePrompt Submission" and a LINK to the work. It's that easy!

Every submission will be read and commented on by the Section Coordinator so feel free to write your heart out.
