Accepting Submissions: {WELL THERE’S YOUR PROBLEM} Writing Prompt

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.

“Well, there’s your problem.” No matter who is saying them, those are four words you really don’t want to hear because they always mean there’s something wrong. Some work to do. Something to fix. Something that needs to change.

But then again, knowing is half the battle, isn’t it? So, wouldn’t it be better to know than to be left wondering?

And this week, we’d love to see where those four words take you.

This Week’s Writing Prompt: Start with “Well, there’s your problem.”
