“In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about an interlude.”
– a prompt for this week’s CW piece.
[Source: @CarrotRanch]
“This is boring” – Ota announced, letting out an audible yawn.
Frank and Veronica looked at the girl, their eyes filled with sympathy.
“”Around the world in 80 days” is a classic. Sit still” – said Frank, placing his hand on Ota’s shoulder.
“Shhhh” – came from all around.
“An interlude!” – exclaimed Victoria.
Before she could say anything else, Ota ran out.
They saw the girl trip and pull down the curtain to steady herself.
“We gave you our daughter to show her how it is to be average. Not to teach her how to be simple” – the queen said with disgust.

Not a fan sometimes, half the time they publish when I am trying to tweak, then my fonts gets screwed up, comments to spam, and when I write the block thing can be taxing. Good thing I don;t pay money for this, oh wait…

The block thing is something I still don’t use. People say it’s buggy as heck, I plan on doing a series of posts detailing the blocks, etc. When, no, IF I find time in the next couple of months, it’s coming.

I just use the classic editor and don’t bother with the new/ fancy one. My blog is simple and it does not need all the frills the new one promises. But sometime next year, the new one will become the ONLY one.

Sweet stuff. Are you ever left wondering for hours on how to do prompts or do ideas come out of you super quickly and easily? 😀

It depends. This particular prompt took longer than some. I actually had no idea, but I decided to push myself. I decided to do it and then I think I left it for a day. I thought of the theatre first, then high class people, then I wanted it to be somewhat humorous and so this story came to be.
It’s often a game of word association for me. The first thing that comes to mind when I read the prompt. Sometimes there are multiple stories, and sometimes there is just one. Some speak to me louder than others.

Great use of the 99 words! I’m now really enjoying the CarrotRanch prompts!
By the way, I nominated you for a Real Neat Blog Award on my page — just a bit of fun, to spread the word!
