Here’s the photo prompt for this week’s Friday Fictioneer’s. Sorry the quality isn’t better y’all, but a story popped into my head the minute I saw it and the light was too low to do much better on the picture:
Broken mushroom
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 Friday 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 (Friday).
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 on Friday.
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, so others can find you and us later on.
- Check back often because participants post throughout the day.
- Get psyched up to do this again next week

I hope to see your creativity shining tomorrow!
This looks challenging, but also a lot of fun. I look forward to Friday!
Great! I’ll watch for you. When you see my post for Friday go up, follow the links to the story to post your comment and link to your story. If you put it in the wrong place, I’ll move it for you when I get the first chance (sometimes the day job is too busy for me to get online). You’ll want your link where everyone else is commenting so you get traffic to your blog.
Hi Madison: Broken Shroom was a tricky one. Then my Muse nudged me. Looks like I’m the first to post. Looking forward to reading your inspiration and the others. Find me here: http://www.triplemoonstar.blogspot.com
