Prompt: Family Rituals

Published on July 5, 2020July 6, 2020 by Editorial Staff

From The Writer’s Idea Book by Jack Heffron: Write about a family ritual. How did it start? Why has it continued? Do your family members have nicknames for each other? How did they start? Why do they stick? What do the nicknames suggest about the roles people play in your family?
