Creative Nonfiction in The Ink Well Prompt #152

Welcome to The Ink Well's weekly creative nonfiction prompt!
In this post, we'll provide the prompt for the coming week.
Before You Write Your Creative Nonfiction Post...
We ask that you read our Creative Nonfiction Tips post to learn about the creative nonfiction genre and review our guidelines.
Important notes:
- Creative nonfiction stories are based on your real-life experiences.
- We are looking for real short stories—not advice columns, reports, recipes, or political commentary.
- Ideal length: 750–1500 words. Minimum for curation: 350 words.
- Please focus on quality content. Proofread and use a grammar checker.
- Comment on at least two other stories for each one you post.
- No NSFW, graphic violence, or abuse content.

Last Week's Entrants

Last week's participants
Featured
Highlighting @rukkie, with the story:
Not That Easy

She pitied me and collected the pestle. Then, I saw her swing into action. In no time, she salvaged my watery pounded yam and turned it into a smooth texture.
Curator's comment :
Rukkie offers a very relatable CNF about attempting to do something that her mother did, which looked really easy. Of course it was far from easy and the whole episode taught rukkie not only to take time to learn how to do things properly, but also just how much appreciation she should have for her skilled mother. Lovely read!

Highlighting @Fashtioluwa, with the story:
Conversations That Speak Louder

We said our goodbyes, and after the call ended, I walked into the kitchen to finally prepare my dinner, feeling a little lighter than before. I turned on the music, then started slicing and dancing, with the hope of preparing something delicious for dinner.
Curator's comment :
fashtioluwa writes an easy to read conversational-toned CNF about the difficulties he encountered while working from home. Everyone believed he was living the soft life, but he soon convinced his friends that it wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be.

The girl's parents have eagle eyes, but with all that control, the girl goes to the park to dance, a bit disobedient. Have a good night.

Hello @pamilerin1 we are unable to see supporting comments on any of the above-mentioned authors' stories from you. The Ink Well requires that every writer supports at least two other writers each time you want to submit a story of your own. This requires you to read the other stories and comment meaningfully on them ie: in such a way that it is clear that you have read the story but not simply repeating a summary of the story back to the author. We want to encourage genuine engagement and conversation and discussions on strengths and development areas in writing.
Hmmm! Okie dokie. I would do so. 💯
Thanks @theinkwell. I promise to do well next time.
