Accepting Submissions: {GRAVE DANGER} Writing Prompt

The world can be a scary place. You’ve got your garden variety murders and mass shootings, rampant global pandemics, errant rockets falling from the sky, billionaire non-comedians on SNL, and Canada geese. Sometimes the world out there makes you want to stay inside and cover your head.

But that, my friends, is how the terrorists and pharmaceutical pill pushers and Fox News anchors win. Because our poor amygdalas aren’t cut out for living in a constant state of fear.

And when you really think about it, you’re not surrounded by grave danger. You’re mostly surrounded by good ideas, just begging for you to write them down. So, why not start today?

This Week’s Writing Prompt: GRAVE DANGER

This week, we’re looking for new original pieces, using GRAVE DANGER as our prompt.

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 GRAVE DANGER. It can be a personal essay, a poem, short story, script, or anything else original and fresh. Ironic or sincere, real or imagined—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.
