March Of the writers 2023

It’s that time of the year again, dear writer friends. Unlike previous years, we’re doing this a bit earlier so you can get the explanations of the prompts and have a chance to ask questions. Also, you don't need to participate every day. You can skip, miss, or just pass on the ones that don't call to you.
