What is a ProsePrompt?
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, but feel free to still do them if you like.
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
January/February ProsePrompt
They say the first sentence should grab a reader's attention. Write a short story that starts with the following sentence, and then let your imagination play with what comes next.
"Oh my God... What have we/I done!"
Don't worry about it being singular or plural. Just make sure you are writing!
Not sure how finish?
Head on over to the ProsePrompt Archive and check out previous submissions, or, check in
chat to share and receive some advice!
HOW DO I SUBMIT MY STORY?
Note the club with "[months] ProsePrompt Submission" as the subject 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.
Good luck!

I believe I've laughed enough to live forever--well, at least until the end of the world. We'll just have to see what happens then.
