Writing Prompt: STRUGGLE
Visual inspiration + mental exercise to start your writing week
What IS this force that thwarts you? The more you thrash, the more it seems to fight from within, as if some inner demon has you by the throat. You curse yourself, you curse the world, you beg and bargain and connive even as you wrestle against the mounting pressure to surrender. What is it, exactly, that you’re fighting for?
