A Drabble a Day 2: The Drabbling

Summary

The website content introduces "A Drabble a Day 2: The Drabbling," a writing challenge that provides daily prompts for writers to create 100-word stories, with a summary of last week's contributions and the upcoming week's words.

Abstract

"A Drabble a Day 2: The Drabbling" is a creative writing initiative where participants are encouraged to write a drabble—a story exactly 100 words long—each day based on a randomly generated word. The project is spearheaded by the author, who also contributes their own drabbles and maintains a weekly roundup of submissions. Last week's stories are celebrated, and the authors who participated are acknowledged. The upcoming week's prompts are listed, ranging from "KILOGRAM" to "PLOT." The author invites more writers to join the challenge, emphasizing the importance of following the submission guidelines of The Fiction Writer's Den, the publication where the drabbles are submitted. Readers are encouraged to engage with the content by clapping, commenting, following the author's Medium profile, or subscribing for more stories.

For those who want to take part – here are the rules:

Every day there is a word. I use a random word generator for that word.

I then write a drabble that, in some way, features the word. (Because it’s a drabble, I keep it to 100 words exactly for the challenge).

Those 100 words don’t include whatever introduction you might have, or promotional blurb. It only includes the story itself.

Obviously, the only other rule is that you stick to the submission guidelines for the publication you are submitting to. I am submitting to The Fiction Writer’s Den, so I keep to their rules.

When you do publish, make sure to tag me. I really want to read what you’ve done.

Without further ado- this week’s words:

1/8 Monday KILOGRAM

1/9 Tuesday SMIDGEN

1/10 Wednesday WHIPLASH

1/11 Thursday MOOCH

1/12 Friday DECIPHER

1/13 Saturday RHYME

1/14 Sunday PLOT

There were some awesome stories this week, I’d love to see some more!
