Sam Fam Microfiction Challenge

 So to connect everyone over the 2020 Thanksgiving Holiday, I proposed that we have a family writing challenge. I had seen this 250 word microfiction challenge online and it sounded fun and less intimidating than a larger assignment.  (Although I greatly underestimated how hard it is to fit a story in 250 words or less).  

So to assure originality and as an equalizer each participant is randomly given a genre, an action, and a word that has to be incorporated into their story, and they have 24 hours to complete it.  That's it. 

These will be published in subsequent posts on this blog, anonymously at first and then revealed later. 

We will also add original artwork (and possible musical contributions)  to several of the stories as the week progresses as a way to involve more people.

Many different ages are participating and so we are keeping it clean. Also this is a judgment free zone, but feel free to post uplifting and encouraging comments.
