The story contest still runs! I nearly beg you to join. Write that story in the series! The minimum is two parts the maximum is 10!
The deadline is September 20, 2020 (what a great date) at noon. I am sure everyone can tell a story and cut it in half.
There are three genres:
- romance
- humor and
- crime
What did I do to join this contest? It's only 4 days ago I made a short post Just three days ago I wrote the first 4 parts and the writing only took me the time to generate 20 prompts and writing/editing for about 30 minutes (publishing them on read.cash took me longer).
I generated the prompts with the free prompt generator https://writingexercises.co.uk/firstlinegenerator.php

I had no idea what to write about. I had no plot in mind neither did I bother about the genre. I just attached all given prompts to eachother!
Two days ago I wrote nothing.
Yesterday I decided to write the end. The end was harder because I partly forgot what I exactly wrote. With a storyline, notes, a plot it would be different. This time I decided to use 10 prompts to finish the story, actually each part that wasn't finished yet in some way.
It was a bit more like mind puzzling this time and I like it. I had the prompts just needed to find a way to fit them in. The first 4 parts I used the prompts exactly in the same order they were given. This time I changed the order to make them fit.

The way I wrote this story is one of the fastest one can think of. Give it a try yourself. There's still time to join. The intention was @Heartbeat1515 would finish my story last Thursday but she was too busy.
If you like to write a story, like to finish mine or me to help you or finish mine please, tag me.
When I have a bit more time I will give an example of how to write a story in an easy, fast and original way.
See @Ozzyy for the story in series contest and hist last announcements or my earlier post. Good luck to all writers. https://read.cash/@wakeupkitty/post-47afd558

No, no one did but it doesn't matter. I finished the story and divided it over freewriting and short stories by now. Happy moving.
I sure hope that everything will go as plan.
Have you finished your writing already? Because as soon as i saw that you were writing a series, i prolonged reading until you've managed to finish
Yes, I did yesterday, right after you told me to rest I wrote the last parts. 😄
Ohh then i have more to read later-
Hopefully many writers join. For me it is easier to remember all these legends that I heard in the towns where I was in my life. Than to write a love story or something. Success.
You can write the legend in two parts. Sounds as if the one at the highway is perfect for the crime genre. That lady on her way to her wedding turned into a killer.
Ah okay. Then I can participate with legends ... I will try to remember another story of that type. There are so many legends that I have read that I do not remember many details. I'M GOING TO FIND A SIMILAR ONE THAT I HAVE IN MIND AT THIS MOMENT.
Yes, you can participate with legends. You seem to know plenty of them and I love to read them. 💕
Great you still have a few hours time and you can mix some legends too and make the story this way. Good luck.
THANK YOU I will try to comply. I'm fighting everything .
I'm having a hard time making a story... I am amazed how you wrote them efficiently.
You can write a tale or story you heard about, a legend and make it a bit worse and you have your crime or if you like romantic story. Humor? I have no idea how to write that. I guess I am not such a funny person or not in the right mood?
I'm not into humor also. I just love reading it. I'm poor in words that create a good story. I will just check the entries and enjoy reading their write-ups.
I am poor in words too because English is not my native language and I miss the part of phrases, idioms most. That's why the prompt generator and Grammarly are both useful to me. If it comes to English there are many tools who help you write the story. I start thinking most books written these days are written by computers.
It is actually easy to write if you have plot in mind, best of luck to our entries 😊
Well the link to the generator can provide you in a plot. I had no plot in mind, no story, no idea, not even a genre I intended to write about. 😄
Oh,? I must try that link generator then so I can come up with other stories. Ill check it later, thanks for the link..you are indeed a writer it's easy for you to create article, admire you a lot 😊
I wish you luck. Might be I write about what I discovered about writing in English...
I am very sorry to leave you to hang in there alone. I hope some else help you to finish but it seems you manage to do it on your own. I haven't been writing in a week. Just post a short post for a warm-up and hopefully after this week, I will be back to my writing.
This week is moving time. Only 3 more days to work and a week holiday for the move.
