Introducing Our Flash Prompt Editing Option
Hi everyone! I wanted to officially introduce myself. I’m Amber, Tirzah’s partner in crime here in Skool. We’ll both be actively involved in editing, teaching, and guiding discussions throughout the community.
As part of our monthly editing thread, we understand that not everyone will be comfortable sharing a work in progress. Some projects simply aren’t ready for feedback, while others are being kept close until publication. We respect that completely.
Because of that, we’re adding an optional creative alternative very soon.
✍️ Biweekly Writing Prompts for Editing Practice
Every other week, we’ll share a creative prompt you can use to write a flash fiction piece. These pieces may be submitted to the monthly editing thread for a chance to receive a professional edit from one of us, which will be shared with the group for learning purposes.
This gives everyone a low-pressure way to:
- Practice craft
- Experiment with technique
- Learn from real edits without sharing from a current manuscript
💡 Prompt Submissions Now Open
We’re now accepting prompt ideas from the community.
You’re welcome to suggest concepts, scenarios, constraints, or craft-focused challenges. While we won’t be able to use every submission, we’ll be building a rotating prompt pool for future sessions.
📘 Flash Fiction Anthology Opportunity
We’re also exploring a flash fiction anthology series built from prompt responses written inside this community.
- Participation is optional.
- Submitting to the editing thread does not guarantee anthology inclusion.
- Pieces not selected for the editing thread may still be invited to submit for an anthology.
- All anthology selections will be carefully curated and need professional editing.
- Anthologies will be published with shared royalties on D2D, the same as our other anthologies.
More details will come later. For now, just know that strong prompt responses may have a second life beyond the classroom.
🧪 Example Prompt
You are an ant.
This is your first solo scouting journey, sent to locate sustenance inside a vast, hostile structure. You move among towering objects(dishes) stained with old remnants of food (score) when the world suddenly shifts. The ground rises. A roaring storm crashes down(running dish water). A blinding white creature(dishrag) sweeps you into burning, churning liquid.
You fight. You climb. You survive, stranded above the flood on a curved surface(cup).
How do you return to your colony to warn them of the dangers you’ve discovered?
Write entirely from the ant’s perspective.
Do not use human terms for objects.
Have fun coming up with different ways to describe the world, only as the ant understands it.
If you have prompt ideas, drop them in the comments or message us directly. We’re excited to see what your brains come up with.
