Yesterday, our little writing corner of the internet reached 1,000 likes — and I can’t thank you enough! Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or just joined the journey, your support has made this space a creative home for so many stories, ideas, and daydreams.
To celebrate, I thought it would be fun to do something we all love: write!
✍️ The Challenge
Write a story, scene, or poem in 1,000 words or less inspired by one of the following prompts:
- The Thousandth Door – It appears in your home overnight. No hinges. No handle. Only the faint hum of something waiting on the other side.
- A Celebration Interrupted – Just as the festivities begin, something happens that changes everything.
- The Weight of a Thousand Words – Someone hands you a letter said to contain the last words of a forgotten king, but you can’t read it until the right moment.
- One in a Thousand – The odds of finding them were impossible… until you did.
You can take your piece in any direction — romantic, eerie, whimsical, dark, or hopeful. You can even combine prompts if inspiration strikes.
đź—“ Deadline & How to Join
- Deadline: Submit or share your work within 7 days (or whenever you feel ready — this is for fun!).
- How to Participate: Post your entry on your own blog or platform and link it in the comments of this post, or simply share it here in the comments so we can all read and cheer you on.
🎯 Bonus Twist
Try writing your piece in exactly 1,000 words. It’s trickier than it sounds — and it’s a great exercise in editing and precision.
Thank you again for helping this blog grow into the inspiring, creative community it’s become. Here’s to the next thousand likes — and the thousands of stories we’ll tell together.
Happy writing! 🖋✨ ^_^
