Writing Prompt: Talking to Ourselves and Other Necessities of Adult Life
December 2, 2007
Each month, we post a writing prompt tied to the current month's essay. Please email your responses of 500 words or less to lmreflections (at) literarymama (dot) com with the words "writing prompt" in the subject line so that we know it's not an essay submission. Submissions should be in the text of an email (please do not send attachments). We will accept responses until the 15th of each month and offer our feedback on each response privately before the end of the month. We hope you'll take this opportunity to get inspired, share your work, and find community with other writers! We'll post our favorites on our blog. In her essay "Talking to Ourselves and Other Necessities of Adult Life," Maria Jerinic discusses the value and joy of writing personal essays, discovering the genre "provides the chance to process, to reflect and understand the significance of our work in many spheres as well as to celebrate our children's accomplishments, to mourn their heartaches, and to think about what all this means for the world, because of course it does mean something." What are your favorite writing genres, and why do you find the most satisfaction in this type of writing? What genres have you least explored and what prevents or discourages you from doing so?
