What is a daily prompt?

Consider this your daily bite of inspiration. Take your prompt, above, and translate it into your chosen medium: write a story, draw a comic, create a painting, outline a short film, write a song. Whatever. Work until the time limit is up, and then go do something else. Or if you’re really inspired, keep going. Once you’re done, you can keep the work to yourself or share it in the comments below. To suggest an idea for a daily prompt, or to submit your own work to be used as a prompt, send an email to contact@litdrift.com with “Daily Prompt” in the subject line.
