Weekly prompts

[fidget]

Hi! I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds here, but I think it would be a great idea to have a weekly prompt. A daily prompt would be too difficult, but a week is enough time to get at least something on paper. The prompt post can be stickied for seven days, and if you've written anything, you can post either the full text or a link to the entry in the comments.

I am not a responsible person, so I'm not sure if I can be trusted to post something every Sunday. Still, I want to both write and see others doing the same, so I wouldn't have a problem with setting myself a reminder. I've also come up with a list of fifty-two (mostly) one-word prompts. They're all off the top of my head, so a lot of them probably suck. I can post the document link upon request, and if anybody wants to go through and replace the crappy ones with better things to write about, then go right the hell ahead.

Maybe introduction posts wouldn't be a bad idea, either, but I suppose that's another matter entirely.

Anyway, here's a prompt for the week: Eye contact

Not the slightest bit of overstepping as far as I'm concerned! Only reason I'm a mod is I was too hungover to write last drunk writing night and so made this community instead. Ha.

Intros make sense and am happy to run with the prompts you have until end of June when I might also try to become more responsible and contribute to review / setting a Sunday timer.

Thanks for the kick-off! :)

I'm a big fan of prompts - in theory. In practice I never seem to think of anything to write about them. So this is a vote in favour of the idea FWIW.

Other prompt communities I've seen occasionally have an "amnesty" post where you can write about any of the previous prompts - that would be a thing you could also add to the cycle whenever you feel like it.
