You heard the hype.
You came to play.
But, what exactly is a . . . wait, what was it called again?
PAY ATTENTION.
It’s a Sunday Scribble Challenge.
Scribbles on Cocktail Napkins has always been intended to be read and (hopefully) enjoyed by writers of every stage. But, now that Scribbles on Cocktail Napkins has a substantial following, it’s time to go one step further. It’s time to launch a challenge.
Now, to anyone out there who has never posted their writing before: stop hyperventilating. This challenge is meant for everyone, newbies and old hats alike. It’ll always be short and sweet. Or short and scary. Or, short and funny. The point is, the challenge will always be short on purpose . . . so YOU have no excuses. Many of the prompts will limit submissions to a simple paragraph. Some, to ONE SENTENCE. It’s a challenge we can make time for and enjoy every week.
What are the rules?
- Check Scribbles on Cocktail Napkins anytime throughout the week. The prompt will be posted every Sunday.
- You have six days to post one response to the prompt in the comment section of that prompt. The Deadline? Saturday @noon, Eastern Standard Time.
- Encourage the other scribblers. Try to comment (reply) to at least three other submissions during the week.
- After the Saturday deadline, VOTE for your favorite submission by emailing: Sundayscribblechallenge@gmail.com. Place the lucky author’s name in the HEADER of your email.
This is a new endeavor for the blog, and there will be some kinks in the matrix. Feel free to offer suggestions for the challenge in the comment section of THIS POST. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Allen is my married name. My husband’s family is pretty scattered, but as far as I know, none are in upstate New York. On the other hand, who knows? Maybe we could dig something up after a few degrees of separation. 😉
