The Practice
A daily habit of telling the truth on paper.
The work behind what’s next.
The practice is simple. A prompt arrives. You write what is true for you. If the piece wants to be read, you send it in.
Step 1
Read the prompt
One prompt at a time. No theme to decode, no right answer.
Step 2
Write it honestly
Fifteen minutes is enough. Real life, not invention.
Step 3
Send it in, or don't
Some pieces are only for you. Others belong in the Press.
