[Fiction] Friday Challenge for April 24th, 2009:

During her first trip to Las Vegas, a woman experiences the luckiest night of her life. (It’s not from gambling).

(Don’t forget to leave your link in the Mr. Linky script below! I convert them into permanent links later which get picked up by Google and Technorati!)

How Fiction Friday works
Fiction Friday is easy to do.

Every Thursday, just check this page for this week’s theme or challenge.
Spend at least 5 minutes composing something original based on the theme or challenge.
But, remember, no editing. This is to inspire creativity not stifle it.
On Friday, simply post what you wrote to your own blog.
Then come back to Write Anything and leave the link in the comment section below.

If you’re participating in the Write Anything meme, please leave a link to your entry in the box below. (If you’re not participating, please don’t leave a link. People who aren’t playing will be removed). Please don’t forget to leave us a comment in addition to leaving a link!

If you’d like to participate further, just go visit some of the other links left by other participants, read what they wrote, and leave a comment. Just be sure that your comment is constructive—this is, after all, a meme to give us all a little writing practice.

I just wanted to clear up a misconception that many of the newer writers are having with FF. Its about allowing the pen ( or fingers) to flow, no editing , rewriting, reading back and editing again – and finding you have only written 2 sentences in an hour.
FF is about getting the blood on the page – getting the story out…. and not stopping to edit or correct spelling mistakes or grammatical errors.

The prompt asks that you spend at least 5 minutes composing something original based on the theme or challenge…. not that the story will take only five mins to write from start to finish.

I thought I’d bring this up as many comments exclaim how they are in wonder of how the writer can type so quickly – or get so much story done in 5 mins.
