#75: New Year, New You
For many of us, the last year was like living through a low-budget disaster movie — but the good thing about the new year is that it gives us an excuse to start fresh. And even though flipping a calendar doesn’t necessarily fix all our problems, it’s still good to take a moment and think about everything you do have the power to change.
In that spirit, this week’s prompts are all about fresh starts. From small, personal achievements to huge goals that will change the world, everything starts with the decision to try. What sort of things will your characters achieve this year? What sort of things will you?
This week's prompts
Write about someone whose job is to help people leave their old lives behind.
Adults – 246 stories
Write about someone who doesn’t remember their past — and doesn’t want to.
