Word Game Excerpt Challenge
If, like me, you have been enjoying the Alphabet Challenge. Then you want more! The excerpt games keep me writing and I hope it motivates with your writing as well. You can post any type of story (use NSFW for spicier scenes).
I will be posting this challenge on Sunday Mornings / Pacific Time… because that day I need the most help to not think about Monday.
I am so happy you’re here to share… but please if you are going to leave excerpts, I ask that you leave at least one top-level comment and try to give at minimum an upvote to commenters.
If you have stumbled into my game and are looking for more, remember to check out the Activities and Events flair for other writing challenges and story swaps.
Here are the rules:
The first word starts the game. Use ANY letter from the word that is posted in the last comment as the starting letter of your word. Post your word in the top level comment. Your word drives the next word to be posted… and so on.
Example: LOVE >>>> VILE. (If the word Love is in the comment line you could make the word Vile and post the next comment.)
Reply to any words that you like with an excerpt from any work you might want to share. I don’t generally like word limits, so use your best judgment. Enough to get the scene across but not so long that you lose your reader.
Upvote your favorite words or excerpts. We are all here to share and know how it feels to get a comment, so spread the love. Leave a nice comment or at least a response if possible to those that post to your word.
Want to see if your word has already been used? Just click on the magnifying glass 🔍 in the search bar above with this post open and type in your word, then hit search (at the bottom). Now scroll down. If you see a green confused lizard and no comments then it has not been used. Double check that someone did not just use it in an excerpt as every comment with that word will pop up.
Ganbatte!! Do your best and I look forward to everyone’s excerpts!
