Creative Writing - Exercise/Self Challenge


GENRE: Fantasy / LOCATION: A Train Station / OBJECT: A Bottle of Wine

This is not the challenge my group was assigned for round two of the NYC Midnight flash fiction competition, but I loved the prompts and their potential so much, I wanted to have a go at it. (I am not allowed to post my submission until I've received the entry confirmation.)

Over the past several weeks, I have been 'forced' to put my head down and work; been challenged to explore outside the familiar and to stretch myself beyond the subjects and styles with which I am comfortable. This experience has been exciting, frustrating, and I've loved it! I've determined that regardless of whether I continue on to round three, regardless of the outcome of this particular competition, I need to keep at this - keep pushing myself to write and to expand my realms of writing. So this is what I will be working on for the next few weeks.

I'm giving myself 'til November 30th and a 3,000 word limit. Ready, Set, GO!
