This Week’s Writer’s Workshop Prompts: August 14, 2025

1. Write a post inspired by the word mirrors. Most of the time, it’s hard for me to look in a mirror these days. I see years of unwise choices, years that have gone by wasted,  my older age…ugh. Sometimes, I see pain,but I see see happiness at times, too. There was a time I looked in the mirror and smiled at myself.🪼🪼🪼🪼🪼🪼🪼🪼🪼🪼
2. Write a post in exactly 9 sentences. 1. On a scale between 1 and 10, how would I rate my mood right now? It’s probably a 5 wanting to be a 7. 2. I shouldn’t compare myself to others.

3. What is more important to you, having a bunch of friends or having a couple of very close friends? Explain. I would say having close friends is better because no one is being fake, hopefully 🪼🪼🪼🪼🪼🪼🪼🪼🪼🪼
