In November 2019, I launched a daily writing challenge in our writing pod/witness @apostrophe on Whaleshares.

I will commit to sharing our daily prompts on Steemit.

With the start of the new month, plus it being a leap year, I thought why not see if the writing community on Steemit is also interested? Plus, it's a great way to earn a steemitboard badge!

We'd love to see you join our writing pod on Whaleshares, or cross-post between the two platforms. It's all good.

What is the Lightning Round Write-Up?

Lightning Round is a 99-word story daily writing challenge that is based off of Merriam Webster's Word of the Day. The goal is to stimulate the writing bug, expand our vocabulary, and support other writers within the Whaleshares/Steemit writing community.

^{FIRST DAY OF FEBRUARY! Remember it's a leap year so there are 29 days this month. Who is committed to writing every single day? Leave a comment and your link to your #99wordstory}
