Writing Prompts
A Month of Gratefulness
This month, we’re going to focus on the theme of gratefulness. The holiday season often brings out the best in us as we remember to be kind to others and to give thanks for everything and in all circumstances. Each writing prompt this month will bring your attention to the act of thankfulness, so make sure you check back each week for a new writing prompt!
The Walk
Use the following writing prompt to inspire you to write a scene.

You continue on your way, but feel uneasy. Your phone dings with another message: “Don’t look behind you.” Who is following you? And what do you do?
The Box

The box sat unopened on the table where he had left it for me over a year ago.
