Creative Nonfiction in The Ink Well Prompt #154
Welcome to The Ink Well's weekly creative nonfiction prompt!
In this post, we'll provide the prompt for the coming week.
Before You Write Your Creative Nonfiction Post...
We ask that you read our Creative Nonfiction Tips post to learn about the creative nonfiction genre and review our guidelines.
Important notes:
- Creative nonfiction stories are based on your real-life experiences.
- We are looking for real short stories—not advice columns, reports, recipes, or political commentary.
- Ideal length: 750–1500 words. Minimum for curation: 350 words.
- Please focus on quality content. Proofread and use a grammar checker.
- Comment on at least two other stories for each one you post.
- No NSFW, graphic violence, or abuse content.

Highlighting 
Her birth was already written
Her birth coincided with the celebration of Mother's Day. I sensed it and told my husband.
"The baby girl is going to be born this day and she will be my greatest gift."
Curator's comment :
This CNF from popurri is delightful! She tells of a surprise pregnancy when she was 47 and believed she was done with child-bearing. In her characteristically clever writing style, she shares how this baby's arrival was written in the stars and how her arrival was perfect.
