I started to think today how much fun it would be to participate in an LBGTQ Pride Poetry Challenge starting June 1st. Next thing I knew, I had 30 Pride Anthems organized for writing prompts!
If you would like to participate, email your prompt inspired pieces to me at her.red.pen.wordsmithing@gmail.com and I will publish my favorites on Brave and Reckless. You can also participate on Facebook by tagging your writing with:
- # the daily theme
- #PrideAnthemChallenge
- @braveandreckless66
