  • Check this page for this week’s theme or challenge. Prompts are published each month to give you plenty of notice.
  • 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..
  • If you utilise social networking, Tweet your story using our hashtag of #fictionfriday AND post it up onto Facebook.
  • Then come back to Write Anything and leave the link in the comment section below.
  • You may also like to Tweet other peoples links from this site as they are posted – and don’t forget to use our hashtag of #fictionfriday
  • 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.
  • You may also like to Tweet other peoples links from this site as they are posted – and don’t forget to use our hashtag of #fictionfriday

    Played with two very different ideas this week. One is prompted by a news event in Australia and the other is an extended metaphor (which I would like to know if people think it is successful). Taking a double bite of the cherry. It’s fun when you are on holidays and can spend some time writing.

    Wow, I thought as I was posting pretty early for me, I might be among the 1st – 7 before me that’s crazy.

    I went off at a tangent with this story, before realising it didn’t fit with the beginning of the story. Cue deleting 300 words. I’m glad I did though, this works much better than the other idea would have done. A few loose ends, but I’m sure they’ll be tied up in draft two.

    Happy Friday everyone!

    I really enjoyed this week’s prompt. I started writing a ghost story, but in the middle, the story changed so much that I really ended up with two stories. I suppose I’ll save the other for a later post.
