WD Your Story Challenge ( 25 words)

Over at Writers Digest, they have the "Your Story" challenge, which they have changed up a bit this month. Usually, it is a 750 word max story based on a  prompt like "you receive a letter in the mail and there is an eye patch in it". You write the story around that scenario. This months is much simpler and you enter online as usual. WD will select the top five, which will be posted on the WD forum, where forum members vote for the winner. The winning entry gets published in WD magazine. Complete details HERE, but this is sthe skinny.

Write the opening sentence (25 words or fewer) to a story based on the photo prompt shown below

  4. Julie- It's free and getting published in WD (online & print) is a pretty big accomplishment

    SS- I actually did submit an entry, but it was easy as I had just written a 100 word flash piece for something Lily Child does every Friday. The opening sentence worked well for this as well.
