Happy National Short Story Month! We love inspiring you all to get writing, so we’ve come up with a few prompts in honor of Short Story Month. (Technically, you can use them for other categories, but that’s your business!) Our hope is that they get you writing, especially if you’ve been feeling stuck. Stay tuned for more prompts this summer! If you do end up using one of our prompts, please let us know! You can tag us on social media: @blackfoxlit! Happy writing and submitting!
