Writing Prompt: An Inheritance from My Mother: Emily Dickinson
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 this month's "An Inheritance From My Mother: Emily Dickinson," Vivian Morrow Jones writes about how it took many decades for her to understand her mother's affinity for Dickinson's work.
