🌪 Today, the twist is for you to start your story with the sentence: Why make your life harder for yourself?

Which is basically what I’ve done by adding all these twists! 😂😂😂

Don’t forget to include the word of the day. 🧐

I’m always shocked when the random word links up so nicely with the random twist. Today’s is perfection!

Reiterating:

If an editor leaves a note on your story, do not delete it.

Five of us go into the queue on and off throughout the day. If you delete an editor’s note, the others cannot see what they asked you to do. Don’t delete editor notes!

We want to write as well, so, I beg you… do your job and make sure your story is ready to go. We publish over 60 stories a day! Think about the amount of time that takes.

So, Are you ready to play?
