I've been doing the 30-Word stories daily since 1 June as a palate cleanser at the end of the day. I'm currently working on 3 very different books as part of my work as a writer and editor. The 30-worders help me relax at the end of the day!

You've said that before (I'm sure) and I still haven't!

Jade started out pretty green about storytelling.
However, after receiving sage advice to try the #30words30day challenge, she now pines for the daily prompt and (o)lives to tell viridescent tales.

Ha ha, I'd love it if you tried them. You can find examples under #30Words30Days (which happens in April, June and September normally), as well as #30Words365.
I'll post the one which I've pinned to my other profile.

Ach, I really feel for you. You are a brave man. This must cut very deep. Look after yourself.

I have all day to come up with a story (or from midday-ish when the prompt is posted). Sometimes it takes 4 hours, sometimes 5 minutes. Sometimes I cheat and do a search for that word in my creative writing folder and see if something sparks - often it does!!! Come join in if you feel like it!!!
