Dailies is a self-set writing challenge focusing on writing creatively each day for 30 days.
My basic guidelines are:
- 300 word max
- Each section is focused around the chosen theme
- The sections do not have to be in chronological order
- Have fun
Theme – Contract killer who is haunted by their first hit.
Note: thank you to John Fox for the theme idea – https://thejohnfox.com/2016/07/creative-writing-ideas-and-prompts/
