Accepting Submissions: {Love Language}

Twice a month, 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.

What’s your love language?

Sure, there are the conventional ones that they write books about. That they’ll talk about in couples therapy. That will make or break your compatibility based on some internet quiz.

Words of affirmation. Receiving gifts. Quality time. Acts of service.

But then there are other, less conventionally studied love languages. A perfectly cooked steak. The deep purr of a cat when you scratch its chin. The way your niece and nephew make you read to them for hours. So many languages, and you never even knew you were fluent.

This week, we’re looking for you to put the language in love language by submitting your original creative work.
