weekly writing prompts from dōt.age
Welcome to anecdōtes, our weekly writing prompt for those of us taking care of aging loved ones while simultaneously googling “am I having a midlife crisis or is this just Tuesday?”
dōt.age exists because we’re all navigating the uncharted territory of caring for aging parents, and we need to share our stories. This isn’t about being a writer—it’s about being human and sharing the messy, unfiltered truths of eldercare. Each week, we’ll drop a prompt. You write for five minutes. No polish, no pressure—just permission to be gloriously imperfect. If you want to share what you wrote, send it our way and we’ll share it on our Substack so we can all feel a little less alone in this wild Mix Tape that is our lives. SEND TO: LNahmie@gmail.com
This Week’s Writing Prompt:
What were your first thoughts or understanding about older people when you were a child?
Set timer for 5 minutes.
GO!
