It’s only been a few weeks, but it already feels like we’ve been trapped inside this quarantine forever. These stay-at-home orders may sound fairly oppressive, but maybe that’s just a matter of your attitude. Maybe you can view this as an opportunity to do some of the writing you’ve been meaning to do. Maybe now’s a great time to enjoy THE GREAT INDOORS.

There’s no use just sitting around, waiting for COVID-19 to pass. It’s time to look inside—at yourself, at your home—and see whether you can make the most of this strange time. Are you feeling inspired by the potential adventures waiting for you in THE GREAT INDOORS?

This Week’s Writing Prompt: THE GREAT INDOORS

If you’ve got an inspired ideas about how to respond to this week’s prompt, send us your submission of 400-700 words. Write us anything that comes to mind when you think of THE GREAT INDOORS. It can be a personal essay, a poem, short story, script, or anything else original and fresh. Just make it worth our while and we’ll publish it, include it in our newsletter, and give you the chance to join the creative, talented staff writers here at The Prompt.

Email your responses to kelaine.conochan@thepromptmag.com by Sunday, April 19th at midnight EDT.
