“Although our intellect always longs for clarity and certainty, our nature often finds uncertainty fascinating.”

― Carl von Clausewitz

Happy Thursday writing friends!

I think it’s pretty clear what I’m looking for here.

Here's how Theme Thursday works:

• Use the tag [TT] when submitting prompts that match this week’s theme.

Want to be featured on the next post?

• Leave a story or poem between 100 and 500 words here in the comments.
• If you had originally written it for another prompt here on WP, please copy the story in the comments and provide a link to the story.
• Read the stories posted by our brilliant authors and tell them how awesome they are!

Theme Thursday Discussion Section:

• If you don’t qualify for ranking, or you just want to share your story without the pressure, you may submit stories in this section. If it’s from a prompt here on WP, drop us a link!
• Discuss your thoughts on this week’s theme, or share your ideas for upcoming themes.

Campfire

• Wednesdays we will be hosting a Theme Thursday Campfire on the discord main voice lounge. Join us to read your story aloud, hear other stories, and have a blast discussing writing! I’ll be there 6 pm CST and we’ll begin within about 15 minutes. Don’t worry about being late, just join!

As a reminder to all of you writing for Theme Thursday: the interpretation is completely up to you! I love to share my thoughts on what the theme makes me think of but you are by no means bound to these ideas! I love when writers step outside their comfort zones or think outside the box, so take all my thoughts with a grain of salt if you had something entirely different in mind.
