Prompts

A man opens his mail box and finds. . . Prompt #96

Today’s writing prompt is inspired from the September 2014 issue of Writer’s Digest magazine.

“A man opens his mailbox to find an envelope containing a set of instructions.”

Set your time and write for 20 minutes.  Set it aside for twenty minutes. Then read. Tweak, make a few changes, but not too many. The energy from that first and fast writing is usually spot-on.

Write a short story of 750 words or fewer based on this prompt and enter Writer’s Digest Contest #60.

Send your story using the online form at writersdigest.com/your-story-competition or send via email to yourstorycontest@fmedia.com (entries must be pasted directly into the body of the email; attachments will not be opened).

DEADLINE: August 25, 2014

    Thank you, Marlene:

    I’ve never entered anything to a publication before. So this was fun.
