OH great. I love doing these prompts. It's very challenging and great fun.
Glad you like 'em and find them helpful. They're fun for me to write.
Hugs,
Cheryl
I've never done one of these before- looking forward to it!
Thanks for the contest!
Hello Cheryl:
Do the prompt words count if they only appear in the title? And does the title count in the 500 words? When you have only 500 words, every word means a lot.
Thanks,
Vince
Hi Avily (love your name!),
My pleasure. Glad you're gonna try out the prompt. Have fun!
Cheryl
Hey Vince,
Sure, you can use the words in the title. And no, the title doesn't count toward the 500 words.
Happy writing!
Cheryl
Looking forward to trying my hand at this. Thanks Cheryl.
