30daychallenge adultfiction challenge collection crime death flash flashfiction generalfiction grownupreads horror lesbian love murder prompt romance shortstory suspense teen

This is a 30 day writing challenge, a collection of short stories. I've always been a world class procrastinator. The goal of this challenge is to get me writing regularly and, hopefully, break me of the perfectionist thinking that often paralyses me.

The Rules:
1. Write and publish 1 short story (flash fic, vignette) per day for 30 days.
2. Stories must be at least 100 words.
3. They can be of any genre or subject matter.

Like a lot of writers I have notebooks lying around full of random story ideas. Most of my older ideas are for novels and screenplays. Been going thru my old ideas and picking out the ones I think lend themselves to the short story format. I'm also working on coming up with NEW ideas that I can use here. Never been good at using prompts, but this is a good opportunity to experiment with those. 

All the stories here are original works written specifically for this challenge. They were written on the day they were published unless otherwise stated. Any similarities to other writers' work is purely coincidental. 
Thanks & enjoy!

Perhaps things would have turned out differently. Maybe I could have avoided what was to come. Maybe it's a game life wanted me to play, and there's no forfeiting or escaping. I simply have to follow the rules and hopefully make it to the final round, even if that means that I'll be buried six feet underground like him. __________________________________ "Things happen when you least expect them, whether they're good or bad, and in my case, it was everything and more."- Linda Smith Linda Smith, in a million years, never expected her life to take a crazy turn.

Over the Wall: A Collection of Short Stories (NaNoWriMo 2014) by emmernemmer

This year for NaNoWriMo, I am writing a short story anthology. It will feature thirty or so short stories (my hope is to write one per day to fulfill my 1,667 per day word requirement) about varying things. Each morning, I will randomly select a number between one and thirty and I will look at the corresponding list of first lines I will have. I will take that line and write a short story using it and then the next day I will do the process over again (some stories might relate to each other, some might not). Anyway I will edit the story for that day and post it here. It may not be posted exactly on the corresponding day, but in the end there will be thirty short stories. P.S. Although these are somewhat edited they are still rough drafts so please treat them as such.

tales from february by june-writes

This is a collection of short stories I wrote during February, almost every day. They were inspired by prompts -- from writing a story with a certain title, to a story with a specific weather event -- all of which tested my limits as a writer <3 I originally published all of these on my Instagram account (@juneseafordwrites), but have also decided to share them here too. I hope you enjoy them!

Salvation by goldndiamonds

👑winner👑 Won blooming potents (writer's challenge ) with #1 rank. Highest rank. #1 in gangstergirl on 23aug 2k18 #1 in good guy on 13 nov 2k18 #4 in hotromance on 3 Aug 2k18 #6 in cuteromance on 3aug 2k18 My body seems to paralysed by his touch. It took my all self control not to moan at his electrifying soft touches. No. This is wrong. It's can be happening. At least not here. Not with him. I tried to push him and only that's when I realise that my hands are in his tight grip on either side of my head. My arch my back as his lips brush against my neck. My body pressed tightly to his as he pressed me back to the softness of bed. Waves of heat sprawl in my spine as he bite down lightly on my neck. But instead of pain I felt... Fuck. What I'm doing? Just one word and he will be gone. My just one order and a bullet will be in his head. I could have him killed right here, on the spot. But do I really want to?
