Here’s the photo prompt for this week’s Friday Fictioneer’s:
Why only 100 Words
100-words isn’t a *rule* and some of us write more than that. My goal is to have The Friday Fictioneers use 100-word stories as an exercise in choosing concise phrases and strong verbs. It’s an excellent way to show your stuff to the world without exposing too much. It’s okay if you use more words, but if it’s much more let us know in the comments so we’ll know how to allocate our time if we’re trying to read all the posts.
Put your best efforts on display for 100 words (more or less) and hop on board tomorrow with links back to your blog so we can all see what you’ve written. If you don’t have a blog of your own you are welcome to post your 100 words in the comment section of my story’s post tomorrow.
If you accidentally post your link here on this page today, you’ll miss out on a lot of the blog hopping because the action will be stemming from links on the story page tomorrow.
How to become a Fictioneer
- Write a 100-word story (more or less, and it’s okay if you didn’t use this picture for inspiration)
- Post your story to your blog on Friday (or just link to it tomorrow if you wrote earlier)
- Comment on my story Friday and post a link to your story.
- Tweet your link and include the tag #FridayFictioneers if you’re on Twitter.
- Visit and comment on all the other stories that link to my story. If the comment forms allow, leave your link on all your comments, too so others can find you and us later on.
- Check back often because participants post throughout the day. (Or as I often have to do, read and comment later in the evening after getting home from the dayjob.)
- Get psyched up to do this again next week

I hope to see your creativity shining tomorrow!
It’s like you want my muse to have seizure. Nice photo.
OMG so funny! My muse threw me to the ground to take that pic.
Sent from my iPhone… You should have seen the typos I *did* catch!
Here’s mine:

This is my first writing attempt. I don’t have a blog, so hope I’m doing this correctly.
All in the Family
The morning wind blew Cap from his seat in the big oak tree. He hit the ground, rolling down the hill to the ravine’s edge.
“Rock, nothing but rock. Why me?” he complained.
“Cap, don’t whine. It could be worse.”
“Yes, Gran,” he replied.
“Never give up boy!”
“Okay Dad.” Cap rolled to a safer spot and anchored himself in the rocks. Then put out a small root, feeling for dirt.

A mist fell on his leaves. Cap turned and looked up the hill. The huge oaks nodded. “We knew you could do it.”
“Thanks momma,” he murmured.
Woo-hoo! Friday! Time for clams and beer!!
