Writer's Prompts | Memory and Self-Identity

Effigy Press Admin

In the Podcast “Memory and Self-Identity” Tim and LeeAnna are joined by Seth as they explore the incredibly complicated world of memory, identity, and writing.


Which makes it time for a new challenge for you writers. The prompt: Keep it under 600 words.


Your main character, whether by chance (or deliberately by a secondary character) is informed that their personality is seen entirely differently by the people around them, and not for the better. How does the other character make their case based on what incidents the main character has misremembered. Is this some kind of intervention?


Or, your character, in talking to another person, realizes they’ve remembered an event entirely incorrectly. Or are they being gaslit by that other person? Or perhaps that other person has remembered the situation incorrectly?


Write whatever inspires you—just make sure it’s under 600 words. Pop it over to us through the submissions page. Who knows, maybe we'll even feature it on the podcast. Extra points if you can write in a scent memory.
