50 Random Word Drabble Challenge 2/19

We challenge you to write a 100-word fiction story

I’ve shortened up this daily post by creating separate posts for formatting and general information.

And, welcome aboard to our newly minted, awesomeness in an RV, editor, Julia A. Keirns! Be nice to her, this is her first gig as an editor, and possibly a lifesaver … for the rest of your editorial team!

The formatting information is here: Fiction Shorts Style Guide

The general drabble information is here: Drabble Guidelines

Submission guidelines are here: Submission Guidelines

Today’s word is …

If you submit your story early, it will be scheduled to be published at 8:30 AM (CST) on the appropriate day.

If your story is for any word other than the current day, it will be published around 10 PM. Our goal is for people to be able to visit the publication and read all of the day’s stories together. That way we see the many different ways people approach the same word.
