It’s Thursday again. And you know what Thursday means. That’s right.
The 500 Club!
Here’s how it works:
- Choose a prompt from the two provided below.
- Write a 500 word story in response to the prompt.
- Post the story to your blog.
- Paste the first sentence or so and a link to the rest in the comments here.
OR…
If you don’t have a blog, copy and paste the story in our handy-dandy doodlybob thingamajig over on the right. See it there? Good.
Ready to write? Here are today’s prompts.
1. Write the not-so-well-known story behind your favorite holiday song.
-OR-
2. Write a story beginning with the sentence: “If [CHARACTER] heard [SOUND] one more time, [HE/SHE] would [ACTION].”
Remember, the point is to stretch your writing muscles and have fun. Don’t worry about typos or rough sentences.
Happy writing to you!
