Ode to Ordinary Challenge Winners
It's incredibly easy to overlook the mundane. In some ways it's necessary, so we can free our minds to work on life's bigger tasks. But it is the ordinary that holds our lives together. From a bedtime routine to the shoelaces on our shoes, the ordinary, predictable, reliable world allows us to propel ourselves into the abyss.

Mythmaker Challenge Winners
Since the dawn of time, humans have created myths. Perhaps this was the original creative expression of our species, killing time around a fire, letting the imagination work. Or maybe it was how we could make sense of the world, so vast and unknown, putting what we saw into terms and stories we could understand, using what words and sounds and figures that were in our everyday lives.

Short and Sweet Challenge Winners (Updated 8/11/2023)
Write a love poem using only words with four letters or less. There are so many ways to restrict a writing prompt. We thought it would be fun to limit you to words with up to four letters. In our own attempts at this prompt, we found that it kept our poetry sharp and surprising. At its most basic, we thought of words then replaced them with shorter ones. But when the prompt was really working, it forced us to change whole stanzas or even entire poems.
