Fall Work Prompt Writing Series
In mid-summer, I challenged writers to share summer-related work stories! Why should Medium writers have all this fun? Substack writers...clock in!
I Challenge You
Share your work-related experiences and stories that are inspired by the fall season!
As the leaves begin to turn and a crisp breeze signals the arrival of fall, our office transforms into a cozy haven. The softer, golden sunlight filters through the glass curtain walls, casting a warm, amber glow across the modern open office floor plan. The energy shifts, becoming more reflective and focused, with the occasional rustle of jackets and the comforting aroma of pumpkin spice lattes filling the air.
This year, our hybrid workspace continues to thrive, where the blend of in-person collaboration and remote work fosters creativity and connection. As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, I invite you to embrace the spirit of autumn. Share your experiences — the unexpected moments of connection during a quiet morning at your desk, the joy of cozying up with family at home after a productive workday, and the inspiration sparked by the changing seasons in your flexible work environment.
Office Bulletin Board (Challenge Rules):
All posted articles must focus on summer office shenanigans and be helpful to people who work or want to work.
