Accepting Submissions: {U Up?} 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.

It’s late. You should be sleeping. But you’re still unsettled and stirring. Then you see your phone glow, illuminating your room and piquing your interest.

U up?

A simple question, but not a simple answer. Ever. Should you just roll over and sleep? Do you answer the text? Will your id, ego, or superego rule the day?

So many questions. So much possibility. What a perfect writing prompt for this week.

This Week’s Writing Prompt: U UP?
