The Writing Marathon, a creative initiative by The Holistic Pine, has been gaining momentum as a vibrant platform where writers — both new and experienced — come together to share their voices. Each week, a new theme invites participants to explore meaningful ideas through poetry, short stories, essays, character sketches, quotes, and more.
A Journey So Far...
The Writing Marathon began with the theme Mothering, which deeply touched readers and writers alike. Heartfelt pieces celebrating the beauty, struggles, and emotions of nurturing children poured in, making the inaugural week a heartwarming success.
Writers such as Ayana Kuttampalli, Helan Jose, Dr. Ayushi Chirag Arora, and Vini Kunhappan stood out for their thoughtful contributions, earning recognition along with their Digital Certificates and other exciting rewards.
In Week 2, the theme shifted to Resilience, where powerful stories of courage and strength took center stage. Notable contributors like Ashima Syal, Angel Mary, and Dr. Khushboo Fatima shared inspiring works that reflected perseverance in the face of adversity. Ayana Kuttampalli and Helan Jose contributed in the second week as well.
Now, as we enter Week 3, we’re stepping into a theme that offers warmth, comfort, and strength — Hope.
This Week’s Theme: Hope
Hope is the quiet belief that even in the darkest moments, better days are possible. It’s the light that keeps us moving forward when life feels overwhelming — something we’ve all felt at some point.
This week, we invite you to share your stories of hope — the moments when you or someone you know refused to give up, clung to positivity, or found strength in the belief that things could get better.
What Can You Write?
Your submission can take any form you choose:
✨ A poem about holding on to hope in difficult times
✨ A short story where a character finds light in the midst of darkness
✨ An essay reflecting on a personal moment when hope carried you through

Your words can be drawn from your own life, your imagination, or what you see in the world around you — there are no limits.

Your words could be the reminder someone needs to keep going.
So, take a deep breath, reflect on what hope means to you — and start writing. We can’t wait to read your story.
