Fridays shouldn’t be stressful but the kick-off to a great weekend! Because structure is important, writing your own 100 Word Story is back on Free Writing Fridays!
Whether it’s the start of an adventure with a cliffhanger or a poem needing to be told, you can still just write whatever you desire.
GUIDE
Most Important: Word length is exactly 100 words. I recommend using Google Docs as a scratch pad and go to Tools → Word Count and check the “Display word count while typing”
Genre? Totally up to you. Share a mystery. Give us thrills, chills, and suspense. Or make us shed a tear.
Fiction or non-fiction applies here. This is your blank canvas.
Copy/paste your story in the comments section for others to read. If you post it in your own Substack (highly recommended and encouraged) just share the link in the comments.
A Note on Notes | If you use Substack Notes, click the 🔄 “Restack with a Note” and copy/paste your story as a Note.

Lads don’t say these things to lads, do they? Not where they came from. But now, at his graveside. It’s never too late. The words catch in his tightened chest. I bloody love you.
Here is mine! I also restacked it....THANKS Erica!
