OK, this time Janet really went 'round the bend. She proposed a contest that consists of 4 rounds, with each round potentially (author's discretion) building on the previous. So we have
Round One
closes: 12/25
Number of words: 30
Round two
Closes: 12/28
Number of words: 25
Round Three
Closes: 12/30
Number of words: 25
Round Four
Closes: 1/1/18
Number of words: 20
Until the contest opens, the keyword was a secret.
For round 1, it was "bird." So here is my entry:
“Birds were meant to fly,” her mother cooed. “So fly.”
Faith pushed her out. She caught an updraft, and soared, gloriously, finally tasting freedom.
Returning home, she found an abandoned nest, too soon tasting emptiness.
Round 2 (posted today) it was "ring," which just happened to be the word the story I'd already roughed out needed.
I won't post round 2 or 3 until I complete and post round 4.
