Weekly Prompt: Whoosh Goes the Deadline

Your favourite writer misses his mark

Here’s our first prompt for November for Street Team

As a non-Nanowrimo writer, safe on the sidelines (possibly the smarter writer get to lend your moral support by taking on one of two challenges:

This week it’s up one of these:

Option 1: Save the writer!

It happens to the best of us. You’re busy at work playing an annual end-of-year LAN and you forget to submit your prompt. Write a story about an author who misses an important deadline but still comes out on top.

Or

Option 2: 10X This Tiny Tale

Today at 7AM, I woke up feeling ill, but decided I needed the money, so I went into work. At 3PM I got laid off. On my drive home I got a flat tire. When I went into the trunk for the spare, it was flat too. A man in a BMW pulled over, gave me a ride, we chatted, and then he offered me a job. I start tomorrow.

Rules:

1. 100–1000 words for the story bits.
2. Tag your story as you like, e.g. Fiction or Flash Fiction But don’t use Writing Prompts please.
3. 🙏 link back to the prompt so others can find it too.
