Welcome to Wednesday Words! Every Wednesday I will post some sort of prompt for a flash fiction piece. The prompt will go live just after midnight Eastern time.
The prompt might be a picture, or it might be a list of things to include in a story, or maybe a phrase or a question or something from a “news of the weird” type thing, or a… who knows?
After that, it’s up to you. But if you do use the prompt to write a bit of flash fiction (say, 500 words or so) I’d love to see what you came up with, so comment below with a link to where it is on your blog (or on WattPad or wherever).
(And a pingback to the post here where you found the prompt would be appreciated but isn’t necessary.)
Oh, and this isn’t a contest or anything. It’s just a (hopefully) fun thing for all concerned.
And, hey, if it inspires more than 500 or so words, run with it!
This week’s prompt:
Write a flash fiction that uses all of the following:
a candle
milk
a prayer
a tree
And, as always, I’d love to see what you come up with!
Novel Notes 
this is such a great habit to get into. Prompts are everywhere, but some of my favorite stories have come out of the most random writing prompts. It’s so strange to think how easy it is to write something you never would have imagined without a little inspiration.
I know, right? I have a flash fiction that is probably going to become a novel someday that came from a prompt a friend challenged me with. I hope you’ll stop back weekly!
