Looking forward to this! Are the weekly submissions *only* for pieces written in response to that previous week's prompt? Or can we submit a previous week's response or a different essay altogether?
I'll explain more in the podcast on Friday but each week there will be a prompt and a link to a google form to submit your entry. The entry will be judged on how well it addresses the prompt. So if you have an old essay that addresses the prompt then you can definitely use it. Or if you want to write something else and not submit it, you can do that too.
Each week you will have a writing CHALLENGE. Like it might be (it won't be) write a haiku about the color yellow. So to "win" the contest you will need to write the best haiku about the color yellow. Does that help explain it?
You go to the homepage (just click the logo) and then click on Writing Circle (Members) and that's where you can see them all. Here's a screenshot in case you can't find it.

Yes--thanks for taking the time to clarify!
Also the "it might be (it won't be)" made me laugh so hard bcuz I knew exactly what you meant.
🤣
Hi! I just became a paid subscriber so I could do the narratives writing group. 🤗
How do I search for past writing prompts? Is there a way to do so without scrolling through every past post? Thanks!
