Here are your challenges for the Month. You may do as many or as few as you choose.

All compositions MUST be written by you.

The following are prompts to help inspire you - you are free to share other writings as well. If you participate in these challenges just be sure to Identify the Room you are writing in (ie "The Writer's Terrace")
