It’s been nearly a year since Scribbles on Cocktail Napkins hosted a Sunday Scribble Challenge. That, friends, is far too long. So, for a limited run of six weeks only, the challenge is back.
What is a Sunday Scribble Challenge?
It starts with a writing prompt issued every Sunday. The responses need only be short and sweet. Or short and scary. Or, short and funny. The point is, the challenge will always require short replies on purpose . . . so YOU have no excuses. Many of the challenges will limit submissions to a simple paragraph. Some, to ONE SENTENCE. The challenge is meant for writers at every stage–newbies and old hats alike.
It’s something fun to encourage creative juices to flow. But, more than that, it gives participants a chance to reach out to the writing community and interact with peers. Writing can be a solitary endeavor. This challenge is specifically designed to lure writers out of their comfort zone for figurative a drink by the water cooler. Participants are encouraged to COMMENT and VOTE on each other’s submissions.
The prize?
Each week, the challenge winner is invited to write a guest post on Scribbles on Cocktail Napkins with links to their own work!
RULES:
- The prompt will be posted every Sunday: beginning this week, on Sunday May 14th.
- Participants have until the following Saturday, May 20th at noon, Eastern standard time to post ONE response to the prompt in the comment section of the post.
- Encourage 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 repeat endeavor for the blog, but even so, there may be some kinks in the matrix. Feel free to offer suggestions for the challenge in the comment section of THIS POST.
And, just like before:
Seems interesting. I’ll keep an eye out for it.

I don’t know if it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else experiencing issues with your website. It appears as though some of the text on your content are running off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This could be a issue with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously. Thank you

I think it may be a problem with your browser. No one else seems to have noticed? Thank you for leaving the comment though. I’ll keep my eye open for the same problem in the future.
