This question always comes up eventually, so… about Thanksgiving (2026 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 and Sunday’s prompts on Wednesday.
November 30th falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving this year, so that prompt will go out to everyone on Sunday of the holiday of weekend, and you’ll have all day Monday to write and turn it in by 12 noon Central Time on Tuesday, December 1st - and the challenge will be completed.
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.
