Accepting Submissions: {GET LOST} 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.

Ahhh, buzz off. Beat feet. Take a hike. Sometimes you’ve just plain had enough of someone and want them out of your sight.

And sometimes, when you’re trying to find your way, you can’t seem to get on track.

That’s why this week’s prompt is so evocative. Getting lost is either an outright dismissal or a scary place to be. So, why not write about it? We promise not to send you packing…
