Complete The Story
For Christmas 2019, my wife offered me a notebook filled with writing prompts on each page. As a creative writing exercise, my goal was to write one short story every 1-2 days, but when COVID hit in March 2020, I lost the motivation to write. Fortunately, I picked it up again in Summer 2023 and I continued where I had left off. You’ll find the collection of those short stories here.
If you’d like to give it a try, write down the prompt for yourself then stop reading. Keep your story within 250 to 300 words. Doing so is part of the challenge!
