[#270 | Pride] Challenge Post

Challenge 270:
PRIDE

...goes before a fall?

Pride isn’t always a bad thing, of course. Confidence in yourself, satisfaction in a job well-done, open self-acceptance – all of those might fall under the category of being proud, and those are generally good things! But taken too far, pride can make things difficult; too much pride might stop you from accepting help, be off-putting to friends or family, or even turn into dangerous overconfidence.

Are your characters proud, justifiably or otherwise?

Write a story about pride.

BONUS GOAL: “What are you worried about? It’s me.”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, August 11 at 9:00PM EST.

[#269 | Self-Indulgence] Challenge Post

Challenge 269:
SELF-INDULGENCE

n. excessive or unrestrained gratification of one's own appetites, desires, or whims

Usually you’re a little more restrained than this. But just this once...it’s time to indulge.

What do your characters indulge in? Maybe it’s as simple as a hot bath, a long nap, and their favorite food – or maybe it’s something much more dramatic. Maybe it’s something that really shouldn’t be indulged…

Write a story about self-indulgence.

BONUS GOAL: “It’s just once!”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, August 4 at 9:00PM EST.
