Daily Creativity #11 | Flash Contest: Write about how COVID-19 has affected your life

How has COVID-19 affected your daily life so far? What has changed, and what is still the same? Which changes are positive, and which negative? What makes you most anxious when thinking about it? Most hopeful? Is there a particular experience that represents the change to your life most clearly?

Write a 300-500-word blog post exploring these questions and examining your experiences so far.


Remember: this is a Monday prompt, so if you are writing your response in the week it was first published, you can submit it to our Weekly Flash Contest (entries due by Friday), via Submittable!
