A prompt is a way of opening a door you momentarily lost the key to, and there is nothing more fascinating or exciting for me to offer you the tiniest spark and see where you take it.

I invite to you to follow wherever your imagination leads you, to not worry about the structures or styles you are used to or even most comfortable with. Just to walk through whatever door chooses to open and enter willingly.

You can start with journaling, doodle with words and see what flows from the pen before deliberately shaping it into something you feel comfortable sharing, if you choose to. The Modern Women prompts are there for you to do what you will with, to let them sit for a week, a day, a minute or right until the last day of the month, if you need.

But before we get to the prompt for this month can we take a moment to celebrate some of the amazing pieces that came our way in response to the prompt Saying Goodbye.

Nerdishwrites offered us insight into the parts of ourselves we discard and say goodbye too but never stop missing.
