Each week, we issue a writing prompt to our own staff, guest contributors, and readers like you. We welcome guest submissions, so if you’re interested in being featured or regularly contributing to the site, email your responses to kelaine.conochan [at] thepromptmag.com.


Things change. People change. And you can’t live in the same moment forever.

So, why fight it? Why resist the inevitable? Why just stand there? Put one foot in front of the other and take the next step. Because, for better or worse, moving on means change is afoot.

Sometimes, you just have to move on. And who are we to stand in your way?

This week’s prompt: Moving On.

Maybe try something differently this week. We have a suggestion—how about starting here and now with a little writing assignment that could bring that big change you always wanted?

Come join our community of creative dipshits here on the internet. This week, we’re accepting submissions for our MOVING ON prompt. You can write anything you want using MOVING ON as your catalyst: a personal essay, a satirical piece, a poem, a script, a short story. Just write a 400-700 word original piece and if it’s good, we’ll publish it and invite you join the crew.

Email your responses to kelaine.conochan@thepromptmag.com by Sunday, December 16th at midnight EST.

Can’t wait to read what moves you.
