I'm confused. This is my first time here. You say to write a 500 word scene. Then you say begin each scene with one of the scene starter sentences.
Do I just have to use one of those sentences to start my 500-word scene? Or do I have to have 3 scenes within the 500 words and each must start with one of the sentences so I use all three?
Thanks. :-)
Hi Kate,
Thanks for your interest in my prompt contest.
You choose one sentence out of the three to write one 500 word scene.
Hope this makes sense.
If not, let me know.
Best of luck!
Cheryl
Makes perfect sense. Thanks for answering. :-)
