iron writer elementsThe idea is simple: 4 authors compete over 4 days using 4 surprise elements or prompts with a 500 word limit.  It takes a lot of thought to weave the surprise elements into the story seamlessly and in such a short word count. Seriously, 500 words is a simple email!

I have the honor of competing in the latest challenge, Iron Writer Challenge #30.  I think that makes me sound less nerdy somehow, more extreme sports… and I’m having so much fun I’m inviting you to take a challenge, and to vote on this one.  Go to the link here, read the stories and then vote at the poll at the bottom. It’s easy.

And then go sign up for a challenge yourself!
