Writing Prompt: The Feeling You've Been Avoiding

Writing Prompt: The Feeling You've Been Avoiding

Every week, Fiction & Feelings invites our story keepers to slow down, pick up a pen, and go somewhere honest.

This week's prompt is a gentle one β€” but don't let that fool you. Sometimes the softest questions lead to the deepest places. πŸŒ™


✍🏾 This Week's Prompt

"What emotion have you been avoiding writing about β€” and what do you think it's trying to tell you?"


A Little Nudge Before You Begin…

You don't have to have the answers. You don't have to write perfectly. You just have to show up on the page and let whatever is living inside you find its way out.

Maybe it's grief that still feels too fresh. Maybe it's joy you're afraid to claim. Maybe it's anger you were taught to swallow, or love you don't know how to hold.

Whatever it is β€” it's been waiting for you to notice it.

This is your invitation. πŸ•―οΈ


How to Use This Prompt

  • Set a timer for 10–20 minutes
  • Write without stopping β€” don't edit, don't judge
  • Let the words be messy, honest, and yours
  • When you're done, read it back slowly

You might surprise yourself. πŸŒ™
