Back in work yet or still on extended holibobs? Whatever you're up to I'm sending you all my best wishes for this difficult time. Keep washing your hands, keep on keeping your distance and use your common sense with respect to face masks and all that (which means use them, you dolt). But still keep a notepad and pen, or a tablet nearby too; you can still write some.

If you've done a #VSS365 this week, have you do one that you think would be worth expanding on? Where have this week's prompts taken you with your wee Tweets? The famous VSS365 Prompter Baton for August is held by @49JDBlood after a month of Greek we've moved on to Math(s), so in my case it's still all Greek to me.

So what is the Seedling Challenge? Simple: Just take one of your VSS365 tweets from the past week and expand it into a story of up to 365 words, that's a shed loads of words compared with a Tweet. If you want to, don't take one of the prompts: take a few of the them. Hell, use them all! But remember to wash your hands afterwards.

This week's words were:

quantity
existential
transitive
permute
set
metric
negative

You don't need to include your original VSS tweet as written within the text of the story (though feel free to), just use it as the seed for your imagination - take your tweet for a walk.

If you haven't had a chance to do VSS this week then you could write a few tweet length lines using the prompts above then pick your favourite. Or hell, be a rebel and just write a story based on one of these prompts.

Give it a go and see where your words take you. You'll find 365 words can take you a surprising long way. Looking forward to reading your stories. If you read the others up here (even if you're not posting your own story) feel free to comment about the ones that are up there; writerers like a wee bit of feedback.

Please include within the post your: Twitter Name, Word Count and Title (if you have one).

And after you've finished remember to wash your hands, then make a nice cup of tea!

Prompters for the rest of 2020 are currently scheduled as follows (note the list has recently been amended and is subject to change):

SEPTEMBER - @TheWritingKind
OCTOBER - @EvitaGrazia
NOVEMBER - A Multitude of Hosts picked by @AvyeAndonellis

You don't need to include your original VSS tweet as written within the text of the story (though feel free to), just use it as the seed for your imagination - take your tweet for a walk.

If you haven't had a chance to do VSS this week then you could write a few tweet length lines using the prompts above then pick your favourite. Or hell, be a rebel and just write a story based on one of these prompts.

Give it a go and see where your words take you. You'll find 365 words can take you a surprising long way. Looking forward to reading your stories.

So what is the Seedling Challenge? Simple: Just take one of your VSS365 tweets from the past week and expand it into a story of up to 365 words, that's a shed loads of words compared with a Tweet.

You don't need to include your original VSS tweet as written within the text of the story (though feel free to), just use it as the seed for your imagination - take your tweet for a walk.

If you haven't had a chance to do VSS this week then you could write a few tweet length lines using the prompts above then pick your favourite. Or hell, be a rebel and just write a story based on one of these prompts.

Give it a go and see where your words take you. You'll find 365 words can take you a surprising long way. Looking forward to reading your stories. If you read the others up here (even if you're not posting your own story) feel free to comment about the ones that are up there; writerers like a wee bit of feedback.

Please include within the post your: Twitter Name, Word Count and Title (if you have one).

From tomorrow the new VSS365 promptress will be Tianna, so if you want to get the prompts promptly for your daily VSS365 hit then make sure you follow @tiannag92]]>Seedling Challenge #32Seedling Challenge2019-08-24T09:51:41+01:00https://awalker.org/Writings/blog-2/files/4fb19bc17ba4de874b841ce78c25ecd1-32.html#unique-entry-id-32https://awalker.org/Writings/blog-2/files/4fb19bc17ba4de874b841ce78c25ecd1-32.html#unique-entry-id-32 #VSS365 this week that you think would be worth expanding on?

To be ready to pick up the May prompts easily follow @firdausp who will take on the VSS365 baton on May 1st. May I take this opportunity to thank Keelah Rose for her prompts and time this month, and to wish her a lovely time with the small cow or whatever she's now up to.

Note: Please note that the site is moderated to begin with so your story will not show on the site immediately on your posting until I've had a chance to moderate it. Apologies if it takes a while to show (e.g. I'm working on Saturday), but all things being equal it will go up later in the day. Be patient. If you've posted on previous weeks I should have now put you down as 'Trusted User' and in that case your post will go up straight away without help from me. ]]>Seedling Challenge #3Seedling Challenge2019-02-01T20:33:33+00:00https://awalker.org/Writings/blog-2/files/9610cd07b90cb08346766f61aab76ca6-3.html#unique-entry-id-3https://awalker.org/Writings/blog-2/files/9610cd07b90cb08346766f61aab76ca6-3.html#unique-entry-id-3

It was amazing the range stories that came out that day from all the writers; which could be traced back to one word at the top of a page in a notebook. Sound familiar? Each day that's what we VSSers are doing. But we stop at the 280 characters. How many of us are taking them to the next level - from a sentence or two to a flash or short story? Anyway, here's the idea... look at your VSSs you've produced during the week and choose one to write a story on. Length? Well of course it'll have to be up to 365 words (a nice circularity there and a similar length to the great stories that used to come out from Angry Hourglass back in the day (they were 360 words)).

Seedling

For the next few weeks I'll post the past week's seven prompt words and create a single page where you can post your story or comment on others.

Initially it'll be just for fun. No judge for winners and runners up and all that. Perhaps that may come in the future. As there will be no judging there is no need for a time limit at this stage, but I'd suggest that you may want to set yourself a target of writing over the weekend each week.

For now I'll call it the VSS Seedling Challenge - as the prompt is the seed and your VSS is the seedling. The short story is the result. Note: you don't need to include your original VSS tweet in the text of the story, just use it as the seed for your imagination.

It was an idea that popped into my mind this morning so it may well evolve into something else (or at least end up with a better title and maybe a logo or a song).

I can recommend taking a look at the Angry Hourglass website to see what amazing stories were produced with 360 words (based on a photo prompt).]]>
