Carry the Light

Every writer needs a little inspiration once in a while. For today’s prompt, your character is going to bring the light.

As soon as I saw this photo, I knew I had to share it with you all! There is something so compelling about the subject's gaze, the light, the candles and their dripping wax.

For this week, let's take some inspiration from this image and write about someone who carries light with them—whatever that means to you!

Since obtaining her MFA in fiction, Moriah Richard has worked with over 100 authors to help them achieve their publication dreams. As the managing editor of Writer’s Digest magazine, she spearheads the world-building column Building Better Worlds, a 2023 Eddie & Ozzie Award winner. She also runs the Flash Fiction February Challenge on the WD blog, encouraging writers to pen one microstory a day over the course of the month and share their work with other participants. As a reader, Moriah is most interested in horror, fantasy, and romance, although she will read just about anything with a great hook.
