Writing regularly requires commitment — and community — For the last two months, Creators Hub has invited Medium creators like you to come write with us, silently, on a Zoom together, for one hour each week. We provided optional writing prompts, calm music, and minimal intrusion. (My colleague Harris Sockel and I hosted, working on our own writing…

This week’s writing prompts are about how you take care of yourself — We’ve been sharing weekly #WriteHere prompts for nearly a year, if you can believe that. And now we’re ready to shake things up a little. Starting in April, we’ll switch to a monthly format. Each month, we’ll share a post here on Creators Hub with a whole bunch of writing…

Medium creators’ responses to this week’s writing prompts — Since January, Creators Hub has been hosting weekly writing hours, in which we invite everyone to join us on a Zoom for an hour of quiet music, optional writing prompts, and creative camaraderie. After all, writing can be lonely, so it’s nice to write together in this way. For today’s…

This week’s writing prompts are about your rants, raves, and everything in between — Spring is a tricky time.

While none of us…

Medium creators’ responses to this week’s writing prompts — This week, we asked you to write about work — the jobs you have, the jobs you wish you had, the worst jobs you’ve ever had, what no one knows about your job. And wow, did you deliver. From textbook editors to strip-club doormen (!), you have fascinating stories to…

This week’s writing prompts are about jobs, careers, and everything in between — We’re living in an era of rethinking work. Whether you’re a part of the Great Resignation, or you’ve decided to (or been forced to) change careers during the pandemic, or even if you’ve just had to get used to remote work or other changes to your workday, chances are your…
