Your challenge this week is a Double Drabble. 200 words exactly. The theme is 'Trains and Boats and Planes' and these three words MUST appear somewhere in your entry: ten, green, bottles. You have until midnight on the 11th. 

This weeks prompt is 'grass'. No adjectives, articles or even capital letters - just 'grass'. Make of it what you will; interpret it as you wish; and add your own ornamentation as you see fit. Just provide no more than 299 words by midnight next Saturday the 25th. 

This weeks challenge is 'The Morning After.' As usual, interpret any which way you like, Max 600 words, and usual deadline (midnight next saturday?) 

My challenge is this: a) 300 words or less, b) written in the first person, c) from the prompt 'What was I thinking?' 

How's about the theme Party Piece for the week 91 challenge. Up to 600 words by next Saturday midnight. 

For this week's prompt, I think I'll go for - Light. As few or as many words as you like. My only condition, it's not allowed to contain the word 'bulb'. Deadline next Saturday midnight. 

With the ownership of a key comes power. Locks can keep secrets. This week's prompt is the word: locked. Any wordcount up to 850 words. Deadline midnight GMT Saturday 15th April. 

With the passing this week of Gene Pitney, I've taken one of his songs as the drive behind this week's challenge. Not to be confused with the TV series, this week's prompt is Twenty Four Hours. Tulsa is not required - just a max of 750 words by midnight on Saturday the 22nd! 

To write a poem using this as the first line (taken from a random line generator): 'Memories of discord speak in the insect air'. No word or line limit for this week, just to ease us all in. Entries must be in by midnight next Saturday. 

'Skimming stones, between the fizz of static.' 

'In the chalice of conflation the voices mourn.' 

'Now I will shine for all the world to see.' 

I don't know about you, but I could do with a break from 'the X of Y go ZZZZZ'. How about a Countdown poem [only ten lines]? 

Go somewhere you can eavesdrop on people (preferably without getting arrested). Try to pick up sound bites to put in your notebook. When you get home, take one of these odd phrases and write a short free-form poem around what you have heard. Use it as your title, opening line, or finishing flourish, or just the gem around which your story develops. (Taken from the BBC Get Writing website.) 

I have just watched a film called 'What the (bleep) do we know?' - a story and a documentary rolled into one. Hard to explain but it's about the links between spirituality & quantum physics & what that might mean for us. Highly recommended. So I wanted to take a quote from that - do what you want with it! It is: 'How far do you want to go down the rabbit hole?' 

Flash fiction - not for any challenge, just my first piece. 

The prologue and first chapter of an alternative fantasy (swords 'n' sorcery) world crossover with our own reality (or perception of it...!)
