I like it, the blue and green feel good, uplifting, stimulating, energising, all the things you need with creativity!

Another short story this time. Different version of the same 100 word competition (again I didn’t win, hah!) Rules for this competition: 24 hours from beginning, Genre - Fairy Tale and/or Fantasy, action - grunting, specific word - time. It’s a little janky - it was the first time I’d ever tried a 100 word story challenge. I am minded to try retelling this story - or whatever there is in my head of it - in another 100 words to see if it flows better and makes the point it’s trying to make. The judges’ feedback definitely showed a sense of missing the point I was trying to make. Curious to see what people make of this.

Yeah, it’d be neat to have some kind of group writing event like that, where there’s a prompt that everyone writes for - I don’t think you’d need to gate it to being 24 hours from when the prompt opens or whatever, I don’t think that’s useful in a venue where it’s not competitive but that people can just rock up with stories.

An entry for a microfiction competition - 24 hour competition, write 100 words with the following prompt: must be in genre of romance, must include action ‘borrowing clothing’, must include word ‘still’. This was one of the tougher 100 word challenges I’ve ever done. It didn’t progress to the next round of the competition, but it did get an honourable mention from the judges, which I’ll take.
