The Value of Critique: Most of us like hearing affirming responses to our work. What about the "critical" responses? How do we take the constructive feedback that helps us to improve? Write a bit about your experience with this and how it helps or hurts your creative process.

Apart from Prose, of course, what are you reading these days? What draws you to it? How does it impact your own writing?

Light and Dark: write up to 50 words about light and then do the same about dark. Compare, contrast.

Listen in today. Transcribe a conversation you overhear. Describe the speakers and the setting just enough that we can picture them in their conversation. Do not guess at their motivations, just tell us what you see and hear.
