Writing Sprints: Thankless
Everyone's writing about gratitude this month. We're writing about what's under the table.
This month's sprint is set at the family Thanksgiving you already know: the same table, the same relatives, the same year of things nobody said out loud. Except this year one of them is done staying quiet. We'll warm up with a fun writing prompt, a toast that smiles the whole way down, then we'll write a scene from the one seat that hasn't figured out it's about to become the center of the night. Bring the resentments you're too polite to voice at your own dinner. First-timers always welcome, and no one's ever made to read aloud.
