The website is a creative writing publication that has recently expanded its editorial team and welcomed new writers, challenging them to write 100-word fiction stories based on a daily word prompt.

Abstract

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.

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!

As I began putting together the word posts for the rest of the week, Ms. Lynn L. Alexander joined the team! What!?! This publication leads a charmed life!

Hopefully, that means we can add more of the writers who have asked to join, but have been sitting in the queue while we handle our 30–60 stories a day.

We added thirteen new writers today!

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.
