A 100 Word Story Community Collaboration
NEW ADDITION TO FREE WRITING FRIDAYS
You may not know this, but for 15 weeks, Iāve done 100 Word Story Collaborations with some truly amazing Substack writers. For November and December I want to collaborate with you! Thatās right! If youāre up for the challenge, read on, but if you just want to continue as you have been, doing your own free writing, the IMAGE PROMPT is below for your writing pleasure
A 100 WORD STORY COLLABORATION
I write 50 words. You write an additional 50 words.
My 50 must start. Your 50 must follow.
You have all weekend long to copy/paste your 50 words into the COMMENTS section of this post.
My 50 words will always use the IMAGE PROMPT as inspiration.
I will select my favorite 50 word addition to my story and share it in the following ways:
Substack Notes (you will get tagged as well)
Upcoming First Edition email on December 1st and January 1st (respectively)
If you are up for this challenge scroll to my 50 words BENEATH the IMAGE PROMPT! Good luck!
Letās get this weekend write-life started! From this Friday forward, Iāll include an image prompt and a few words to get your brain percolating towards a story. But only if you need it! Write whatever sparks joy for you.
Hereās how:
Exactly 100 words. Not 99 or 101. The Word Count Police are tracking!
Genre? Writerās choice! So long as you give us all the thrills and the feels.
To Fic or to Non-Fic? You decide. What matters most is that youāre satisfied with the output.
Copy/paste your words in the comments, then share on your own Substack, and maybe, share to social media!

IMAGE PROMPT
I bet you didnāt know he was once a ruler of a kingdom, did you? Well, he was. You told his story once. Of his many conquests, victories, and stumbles, perhaps you should tell us the most memorable one?
REMINDER: You donāt have to write your story just on Fridays! Take this sentiment and free write all weekend long!
A 100 WORD STORY COLLABORATION
[MY 50 WORDS]
I was once called ākingā by my loyal subjects; the mice of the field, the birds of the air, the fish of the sea. I was considered kind and just by my friends, villainous by my enemies, and strict by my family.Ā
In short, I was feared by allā¦untilā¦

[My 50 words] ...the annual Woodland Dance.
I only went to show my face, to make nice. It seemed friendly enough.
Hours later they found me lying under some mushrooms, trousers around my ankles, fur matted with puke. Some of it wasnāt mine.
Someone took a photo, and social media did the rest.
[My 50 Words] I ate some fermented acorns. Suddenly, I found myself pole-dancing on the bird feeder. My formerly respectful subjects threw sunflower seeds and made lewd comments. The worst offenders were a pair of sleazy squirrels named Chip and Dale, who offered to hire me as an exotic dancer for just peanuts!
