Everyone can get involved with Hippocampus Magazine with Prompts! Each month we post a new creative nonfiction prompt, inspired by a real-life event; fact is stranger than fiction and if we experience something unbelievable, we know that others must have a similar story.
This month’s prompt:
OMG. I forgot it at home.
Due July 20; Published in July 2014 issue
How to submit:
Submit your 300-word-or-less response to this prompt by the 20th of the month using the contact form below: (note that you don’t have to use the prompt verbatim in your story)
We’ll share a selection of the best submissions–plus the story that inspired this prompt–in the next issue. Note that your {prompts} submission doesn’t have to include the {prompt} verbatim. Remember: we’re looking for true stories! And, if you are too shy to share, feel free to use this activity as a writing exercise for yourself!
