Last Drabble Writer Standing is here!!

If you are unfamiliar, this is a four-week competition where we give prompts to writers and challenge them to write a drabble each week. These drabbles are then posted anonymously for everyone to read and vote on.

Each writer has one week to write the drabble and submit it in time for the weekend voting spree. And if you would like to host a weekend readalong of the drabbles, reach out to the mods to get it on the calendar!

(You can find the full details here: https://mi6cafe.wordpress.com/events/last-drabble-writer-standing/)

So, without further ado, if this all sounds interesting to you and you’d like to be one of the writers, you can

Sign up here!!!!

Sign-ups run from Aug 15-30 and the first prompt goes out on Sept 5.
