Writing Prompt: Green Means Go
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 word "writing prompt" in the subject line so that we know it's not an essay submission. 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!
In "Green Means Go," writer Terri Scullen Terri explores the sometimes frustrating, sometimes triumphant stop and start quality that motherhood has brought to her writing process. "I'm about to give up, toss the pages in the round file, say adios and sign off, when the powers that be take pity on me and hot flash, eureka, I'm gone: released at the keyboard into my make-believe world."
