Day Twenty

We all have experienced this. Due to illness, a family event, work, you didn't have as much time to study for an important test as you needed or finish a project you promised to do. Think of a specific event that you went through of which you felt unprepared for and write briefly about the preparation that you were able to do, the reasons that you didn't get to prepare as well as you wanted, and of course, the outcome.

Write a story, poem or create a piece of art where a character is unprepared.

( Icons and Banners )

A few reminders ...

If a particular prompt isn't speaking to you, and you're trying to go for all thirty-one, remember that you can substitute one of the Mercurial Monday prompts that you chose not to do for any other prompt in the challenge. So, for example, if you chose "Tedious Work" for Day Two, if you write something for "Great Danger" for Day Two as well, that second story can count for any prompt that you don't feel inspired to do.

All of the entries created so far for which we have links can be found here. I added a lot of new ones tonight, so we are close to--if we haven't exceeded already--200 entries. (Wow!)

Old prompts are here as well. You have as long as you'd like to write for prompts, though if you're going for the thirty-one-day marathon, we do ask that you try to finish by mid-April so that we're not handing out banners till the Eighth Age of Arda! :)

Banners and icons, generously created by

heartofoshun and

rhapsody11, are available here for participants who wish to use them.

And, finally, if you'd like your work added to the list on our website, either leave a comment on the relevant entry on this community or email me at DawnFelagund AT gmail DOT com.

Have fun! :)
