To write means more than putting pretty words on a page; the act of writing is to share a part of your soul with the world. Get your journals and pens out and get ready for 500 writing prompts! You can write your responses in the comments to share them with everyone or keep them private and write respond to them in your own journals or diaries.

The local library has a challenge. Write a quick story on a random prompt. Some are written in 10 minutes and shared immediately, others are written over the course of a week as homework. The latter is aimed to be around 500 words. They range from fantasy to science fiction, drama to mystery. The prompts can be anything and I'm often unprepared for them. I'll put the prompt first, the story after, then followed up by any notes I have to share. Each chapter is an isolated writing prompt. Included in the title is the target word count. ** Feedback **: No. I write these as a one-off for the local library writing group. I don't intend to further the story. Location: Local Library.

A place for all the short (less than 800 words) stories that I've written, since about 2023. I update once a blue moon when the mood strikes me. Reocurring themes include that feeling you get while dissociating at a moderately sized party, the blurry line between comedy and horror, and those little moments that nobody thinks of but I never shut up about. Some of it's not that good, but I don't think it really needs to be. I just want it to exist. --- Or; what several years of sporadic writing does to a mf.
