I recently found writer Sarah Salway’s blog Sarah’s Writing Journal via an interview on Susannah Conway’s blog Ink on My Fingers. She puts up writing prompts for 50 word stories, which include a prompt word and a photo. People can play along by posting in the comments section of each post or posting to their blog.
Here are a couple that I have played along with – click on the word prompt to go to Sarah’s original post.
Heritage Sophie was out shopping, the thought of it gave him palpitations. Her last expedition had led to remodelling the dining room to accommodate the three metre long antique sideboard that was ‘just perfect’. And when it was completed she remarked: ‘It doesn’t quite fit does it’.
Spoilt He lavished her with gifts, chocolate and flowers, even jewellery and lingerie. She opened each gift with the excitement of a child at Christmas. ‘I am so spoilt’ she squealed with delight. He turned away, smiling, knowing that the end was near.

Heritage made me laugh… but what is going on with Spoilt? What’s going to happen??
I, too, laughed at Heritage. Spoilt really has me going and I am wondering if I will ever know the ending or have to create me own?
hehehe, Spoilt conjured up all sorts of evil images.
that wasn’t my original ending – but this one is so much more sinister.
Hmm do I write the rest of the story?
I think you should write the rest of the story
A new challenge! I especially like your Spoilt story!
Fun stories.

I like this 50-word challenge – you’ve inspired me to give it a try!
Oh gosh…I may have to try this one…and Illustrate it as well!
These are great. I love them. I too think I might just have to give it a try!
Thanks for sharing them. 🙂
