Happy Monday, writers! It’s Online Open Mic week this week, which means that today and tomorrow we’re accepting submissions of your works-in-progress, be-it poetry or prose. Head over and submit your piece before tomorrow (Tuesday) night, and get feedback from your fellow writers on Wednesday!

Don’t have a piece-in-progress ready to submit? Never fear! A writing prompt is here! This week, let’s gaze skyward and watch the snowflakes fall on our faces. Or, lift your eyes and study the ceiling. Wherever you are, or your character is, look up. And write about it.
