Welcome, Germies, to this month’s writing challenge! This challenge will begin today and will end March 31st. However, you are welcome to come back anytime to complete the challenge and submit it below in the comments section. We will pick a few of our favorites that are submitted during this month, though, and they will be featured in our Lit section.
Writing Challenge:
–Write a short story that’s no longer than 600 words.
–Your story must include one of the following sentences:
- The flames licked at her heels.
- He looked over his shoulder to make sure no one was following him.
- As they ran through the field, all their worries began to melt away.
- She looked around the crowded room, searching for the one face she hoped to see.
–The pronouns and verb tenses in the above sentences are flexible. For instance, you may change “she” to “he” and vice versa (or use a character’s name instead of a pronoun), and you may change verbs from past tense to present tense.
–The sentence you choose may appear anywhere in your story.
