Submit beginning August 1: Theme “Constraints”

We begin reading general submissions again beginning August 1st for our new theme, CONSTRAINTS.

You can apply the idea of constraints to the content or the form of your work. Constrain your characters. Constrain yourself. Write a story about being limited by your body, by finances, by unbreachable borders. Or write a poem in which every line MUST begin with “I can not…” Tie your hands together as you write. Limit by number of words or number of syllables. There are no constraints on how to interpret “constraints…”
