Daily Creativity #46 | Flash Contest: Write a Mystery
Write a mystery story. Think about the arc of your story, and plan out the actions and motives of the characters. Does the reader know something the characters don’t, or is the reader in the dark until the end? Think about how the mystery might unfold for the different characters and for your readers. Editor’s note: Today’s Daily Creativity prompt is another challenge set by Anya Geist, Stone Soup reader and contributor, so for this week’s contest, she will ,join the Stone Soup team once again as a co-judge!
