As promised, though a few days late, here is our flash writing exercise. This is just a fun ice breaker to get us writing - we don't plan to structure the entire community around prompts.

Prompt and guidelines under the cut:

Before we get started, I just want to say that we know the world is on fire right now and you might not be in the right brain space to write. That's okay! If just a few people end up posting and you feel up to leaving feedback, that's great. If you need to hit the pause button on this whole concept, that's fine too. I will say that I'm exhausted and stressed, but when I pushed myself to do this short challenge and write fiction (!!), it was really fun and just the type of brief escapism I needed.

OK, here we go:

Flash Writing Challenge

Take 30 minutes to an hour one day this week to write a piece of flash fiction, nonfiction or poetry using at least two of these words:

Again, this is any genre! If writing prose, keep it under 700 words. You can post your piece to the community and tag it 'flash writing challenge'.
Other posting guidelines here. Let me know if you have any questions! I've already done mine and will be posting it tomorrow.
