Below is the full 30 Short Stories Challenge that I am tackling. The list is a bit of a hodge podge of story prompts that I got from Pinterest. Each story will be short and written in 1 day, hopefully. I’m really just trying to exercise my creative mind and work on my ability to write.
This list is updated after every post so that you can click on the title and it should take you to the story post. Until I’ve completed the challenge, I will keep this post stickied to the top of my blog.
I’d love to hear anyone’s opinion on any of my stories. If you like them or not. My goal is to eventually write a novel and one of these may be the seed for that goal. So if you think one is worth it then let me know.
