A good friend of mine and fellow writer Karen Sanders has issued a Writing Challenge, where every week she will give out a list of 10 words, and you have to write a short story that includes all of those words, in their exact form.

This is not only great fun, it also helps to overcome writers block, and you never know what stories the submitters are going to come up with.

Everyone’s mind works differently, and you can guarantee that not two stories are going to be remotely alike.  In fact when I have done this type of contest before, some of the entries have been absolutely hilarious.

For examples of the stories that have been submitted so far, see the following:

• When Harry Met Sally by Tony Payne
• The Bracelet by Karen Sanders
