Admin Post: July Challenge: A True Leader
Jul. 15th, 2020 07:09 pm
This month, we continue our annual SWG tradition of featuring a challenge with a focus on the many ways that women have improved and enriched the world we live in. This month, we honor those women who served as leaders in varying capacities. Prompts for this challenge will be quotations from women who have served in a leadership role. Comment here or email us at moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org to request a prompt.
Your challenge does not have to be about women, leaders, or women who are leaders. You can use the quote in any way that inspires you. In order to receive a stamp for your fanwork, your response must be posted to the archive on or before 10 August 2020. For complete challenge guidelines, see the Challenges page on our website.

“Anger is like liquid. You put it in a container and it takes the shape of that container. So many people you see in prison, unleashing war on their people, they are angry, and they take their anger and put it into a violent container.” ~ Leymah Gbowee
