I accept the challenge.

Just caught an email notification about a fun challenge: craft a ten-word story.

But it’s more than that. It’s a way to connect and continue building community here on Medium. So keeping this one really short, and using Lady Dr. Gabriella Korosi as inspiration, here goes:

This fierce guerrera knew the ancestors would always guide her.

Jumping on Gabriella’s words “stepping forward into the unknown future awakened her inner sight,” I thought of adding my own spin to what her story brought up. Reading that line made me think of how fear of the unknown can cause a range of emotions: trepidation, uneasiness, and paralyzation.

Understanding how powerful we are as women, I wanted to create my own short around feelings of empowerment and fearlessness. Guerrera is what my people use to describe a warrior woman.

Because the world needs more of us.

To catch a few of the gems on this ten-word story challenge, check out Vidya Sury, Collecting Smiles Some Self-Talk, Some Self-Motivation. Taking another spin on it, Vidya shares five 10-word haikus.

Here’s Gabriella’s article Short and Sweet. It’s what inspired me to take the challenge.

Then there’s Deb Fiore’s How Do I Write This Ten-Word Story. I really like this one because Deb gives us her story using ten 10-word sentences.

Finally, where it all began Tree Langdon’s The Agony of Concise Writing.

Note: it turns out, by checking Tree’s article, the challenge goes further back. So in gratitude, I’d like to tag Matt Patton, Jennifer Barrios Tettay, Ben Ulansey, Sheri Jacobs.
