Today’s prompt is 100 words
THE PROMPT
Write a story in exactly 100 words.
For the #100dayproject last year my friend wrote essays of exactly 100 words. She got so good at it often she would produce a first draft of the exact word count.
I often use writing I love as a springboard for my own. Today influenced by Sarah Selecky’s prompt I looked a scene from Hemingway in A Moveable Feast to inspire me. It is a simple scene that he is eating oranges and chestnuts in front of a fire.
I did write two other 100 word stories about spooning and a horoscope like story as well.
What did you write today?

Love it, Tammy! I took a picture of a boardwalk in the marsh from my camera roll and wrote 100 words. I had to play around with it up and down to get it perfectly on the spot, but I love the process

What a cool idea to write a story in 100 words (and to use Hemingway as your mentor).
