Last week I started a new challenge called the Six-Word Story Challenge. The daily word prompts come from Megan Rutell on Page Flutter. I have decided to begin with the January prompts, so I’ve got a bit of catching up to do. I will be posting them in batches here as well as posting a few of my favourites over on Instagram.
