This question always comes up eventually, so… about Thanksgiving (2024 edition):
Yes, there will still be a writing prompt.
However, the plan that week is to send you writing prompts in advance for the holiday weekend, so you can write ahead and bank them if you want.
The last few years, what I’ve done is sent out
Tuesday and Wednesday’s prompts on Monday,
Thursday and Friday’s prompts on Tuesday,
and Saturday’s prompt on Wednesday.
(This year the holiday weekend is stranger than usual because it’s at the very end of the month, so we don’t have the usual challenge scenario of the holiday weekend followed by a couple of “normal” weekdays again before the end of the month. In fact, the month turns over in the middle of the holiday weekend in 2024. Saturday is November 30th, our final day of writing. Sunday is December 1st, when the results of that final day of writing get turned in.)
And, as always, there will be an escape hatch prompt that you can copy, paste and embellish as your submission for the day, such as…
“Lights up
A turkey runs for its life across the stage.
Lights down”
So don’t stress the holiday. There are ways around it.
