Hello everyone! Welcome to the twenty-eighth edition of Fiction Monday.
“You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go, and see what happens.”
~ Mandy Hale
I had a plan. To write, of course. To respind to the prompts here promptly every week. Not only that, I wanted to publish a poem on Monday, a random musing on Wednesday and fiction on Friday based on the prompts. Great plan, isn’t it?
But I didn’t do any of these. Don’t ask me why because I’ve no answer to this quandary.
I am hoping to get back to consistent writing going forth.
Stories From The Twenty-Seventh Edition
An idea from the kitchen by Suzana
Thank you for being a consistent writer of Fiction Monday, Suzana.
Fiction Monday
The idea is simple – to write fiction. On Mondays, I will post the prompt here. There will be a word prompt and a picture prompt. You have one week to respond with a story. You can choose to include both the prompts in your story or just one prompt – the choice is yours.
The expected word count is between 50 and 500. From the nineteenth edition onwards I am offering something different for fiction Monday. You are also welcome to offer your poetry and non-fiction musings along with fictional pieces if that’s your preferred area. The whole idea is to write. But we will continue to call this as #FictionMonday because why not!
You have time till January 16th Saturday, 2021.
Don’t forget to add the link to your story in the comments below. I will share your creations here along with the prompts for the twenty-ninth edition on Monday the 18th of January.
Word Prompt– FLY
Picture Prompt –
*If you use the picture prompt, please give proper credit to the picture in your post.
I have been struggling with writing too. Need to find a way to make it a daily habit! I would love to participate in this!
That would be lovely if you participate, Jyoti. Looking forward to reading your response to the prompt. ?
I would love to join this fiction writing. But, too busy these days with new job. Still, may be will try. 50 words might not be that difficult ?
I know you are busy, Mahati. Please join whenever time permits. 🙂
I’m going to be brave and write for this prompt!
Looking forward to reading your story, Pixie. 🙂
Plans almost always go for a toss, so it’s best not to make any and just go with the flow. Take each moment as it comes. 😛
I’m struggling to write regularly, as well. Hope these lovely prompts help both of us.
Here’s my post for the current prompt:

Joining in with mine, Vinitha. I’m also struggling to write more and write often so I can totally see your point. It’s easy to give up, right, but that’s why we mustn’t, so here is my brave attempt (if I may say so, myself!) to write a story based on your prompt this week.
Hope you and the others enjoy it.

Hello again, Vinitha! I suppose we have to apply what Mandy Hale taught us: ‘breathe, trust, let go, and see what happens’. 🙂
Have a beautiful weekend!
Although this is a beautiful photo prompt, it reminds me of Wildflower Graves – a book I read and reviewed recently!
