Writing Prompt: Learning from Failure

Failure leaves fingerprints on our stories.

It leaves fingerprints on our confidence, too.

We’d like to think we’re the type of person who can take a failure and learn from it and yes, eventually we may.

Failures shape us—they may make us grow. They may make us more fearful or risk averse. Best case scenario: They may make us stronger or even smarter.

Prompt: Write about a time you failed—and what came after.
Did it lead to something unexpected?
