Weekly Writing Challenge: Fifty

by Vincent Mars on April 7, 2014

We blog for a million different reasons, but in the end, we’re all storytellers. Creative Writing Challenges are here to help you push your writing boundaries and explore new ideas, subjects, and writing styles.

To participate, tag your post with DPchallenge and include a link to this post, to generate a pingback and help others find the challenges. Please make sure your post has been specifically written in response to this challenge. We may highlight our favorites on Freshly Pressed on Friday, and in our quarterly newsletter.
