This Week’s Writing Prompt

Each week the featured author offers a writing prompt for you to use at home. I suggest setting a timer for 6 or 8 minutes, putting the writing prompt at the top of your page, and free writing whatever comes to mind. Remember, the important part is keeping your pen moving. You can always edit later. Right now we just want to write something new and see what happens.

This week’s writing prompt is: Write about one crystal clear moment when you were made very aware of your sense of being inside of or outside of this designated circle of "women."
