Writing Prompt: Create Your Own Myth

 

Let’s try something different this month. Write a myth. A myth is a traditional, usually ancient story involving supernatural beings, ancestors, or heroes. It is used to explain aspects of the natural world or to show the psychology, customs, or ideals of a society. Myths exist in every culture across the globe.

Why don’t you write a myth using one of these ideas as inspiration?
