Let’s lighten it up around here. And when I say lighten, I mean REALLY lighten.
This week’s assignment will require the fewest number of words ever: we want you to write a story – your choice of topic – as a tweet.
That’s right. One hundred and forty characters. Not words. Characters.
Make us laugh. Make us think. Make us want more.
Mostly, have FUN with this. You’ve earned it.
Come back Friday and link up.
Love this!
Such a sexy idea! seriously.
Ooh, fun!!
Now there is a challenge!
This will be my very first week linking up here and I am SO excited for a prompt like this. Genius
Quick question – Is the prompt to write the story in tweet form? Or only in the Twitter maximum number of characters of 140?

Look out people.
This is my first week linking up. How exactly do I do it?
You post on your own blog, then there will be a frog icon here tomorrow. Click on it and it’ll take you through the steps. It’s super-easy. You just need the URL to your post – not to your main blog, just to the post you’re linking. Glad you’re joining us!
Great! Thanks!
Ok, I had fun with it.
Thank you, Red Dress girls (What do we call you now – The Write Edge girls? And what is the tweeting hashtag?) In any case, I’m all “a-twitter” about this fun one!
Work was crazy this week and I missed the prompt. What a fun one! I’ll enjoy reading a bunch of these!
There’s still time to link up if you want to. It’s only 140 characters!
[...] August I wrote & Tweeted then posted a 140-character story called Melting for a Write on Edge (formerly Red Writing Hood) prompt. The response to the piece was so encouraging, I decided today to double that character [...]
