Transition Roundup

Thrifty Words Theme Challenge #15: Transition

Photo by Oleg Laptev on Unsplash

I am blown away each week by how much story can go into exactly 50 words. I enjoy featuring these stories here and on social media (Twitter). I love the variety of places to which each author takes us. I adore the diverse imaginings each challenge raises for each author. I love my job!

On that note: please look for our new 100-Word theme challenges coming in the new year. The structure will be a bit different. The challenges will be issued once per month but rounded up in the same way 50 Words has been. I look forward to reading what you’ve got!

I am putting this at the beginning because I’m afraid nobody saw it at the end of the challenge story. Keep this in mind for Marla Bishop’s next Thrifty Word Theme Challenge.

“Before I send you to the submission guidelines, I have a request. TBI loves to promote our writers. If you would like your 50 Word stories pushed like inner-city heroin, please leave your social media handles at the bottom of your piece. Feel free to follow us on Twitter @TheBadInfluenc7. Follow the editors of Thrifty Words Theme Challenge, Jonica Bradley and Marla Bishop on Twitter here @lynn_jonica and @tulipchickuk”
