In an effort to get the creativity flowing, and because I was asked to produce a short story, I decided to engage in a writing challenge. To keep my juices really churning, I would like to do it as a weekly thing. Unlike everything else I write,  there will be no second guessing and no worries. If it stops being fun, I’ll have to stop doing it. I need to write one thing each week that isn’t a source of stress!

The Rules:

No rewrites.

No edits.

No withholding. (If I write it, I have to post it.)

I get an hour and a half. If I’m not done, I have to stop mid-sentence. (which of course would make it open to interpretation, kind of like a David Lynch movie)

What I’m given:

Five words (and I have to use them all)

One location

One prop (it must be used as a prop, not just mentioned)

A theme

I am hoping some of you kind people might be willing to help me out with these categories as needed.

Stay tuned. The first challenge will be posted momentarily.
