Sacha has introduced a twist this week, with her #Writespiration prompt… read on to find out!
Write a piece of fiction with the most superbad villain you can in exactly 208 words.
Because this competition will run for four weeks, and writespiration this year is 52 words in 52 weeks, I’ve added all four weeks word counts together. So you will have EXACTLY 208 words to write this story/villainous piece of flash.
What am I looking for?
A seriously kick-ass villain. That’s it. It can be a short story, poetry, flash, or even an excerpt from an unpublished story. But it has to be about a villain and it must be 208 words exactly.
How To Enter:
Send your entry with your name, website (if you have one) email address, twitter handle if you have one, postal address for the signed copy to sachablack@sachablack.co.uk
Your entry piece should be in a word document, with a title. Please note, the title is not included in the 208 words.
Ok, so I am not the best villainous writer, but here is my take!
Serena’s Secret
Pushing the final bolt in place, Serena turned and leant against the door.
Finally, she would be able to get to the bash, and claim that award for herself.
There was a banging on the door. “Let me out! Serena! Please! I need to get to London in the next hour!”
“Sorry…” She whispered to the door as she turned on her heels.
The train left at 8.32am.
Sitting in the rocking carriage, she thought back to the day she realised that there was a big chance she wasn’t going to win.
She had been contacting all her friends, telling them to vote for her, and had even made an arrangement with several local businesses who had a plethora of computers. Vote for her and she would offer them free advertising on her blog!
Typical that her main competition happened to be her sister, that they had been put up against each other, and that she has overheard some of Serena’s conversations… She had threatened to tell the organisers about the cheating, and there was no way Serena could risk all her hard work…
Oh well, if Maria couldn’t be there, she would be unable to grass her up.
Meanwhile, Maria took her phone out to call Sacha…

Sacha’s back with her #Writespiration prompt this week.
Your challenge is to write your story using the weekly theme/prompt and write it in just 52 words…. EXACTLY, no more, no less.
Tell me the story of why this room is empty!
Everything.
They took everything.
Not one fixture or fitting left to adorn the walls of this now bare shell of a room.
“If the bank are chucking us out, we aren’t leaving a thing, not even the carpet!” Rhys exclaimed.
They left, but not before unearthing a floorboard…that would make them think!

Sacha’s back with her weekly #writespiration prompt!
Your challenge is to write your story using the weekly theme/prompt and write it in just 52 words…. EXACTLY, no more, no less.
This week I want you to continue the sentence below (the sentence doesn’t count in your 52 words).
It stared at me…
…goading me, teasing me, inviting me to come and choose it, to open it up, to love it again.
It seemed to be asking me why I hadn’t visited for so long, and when I would finish it.
I ran my mouse over it, hovered.
Should I click?
My work in progress…

Sacha’s prompt this week for #Writespiration.
This week, I want to get to know you. Pretend money is no object, describe your perfect office or writing location, or make it up, make it random or describe the craziest place you’ve worked.
I wrote this 52-word piece first… Maybe the craziest place I have written…
Sitting here, right now is probably the loudest writing spot I use!
For the last two years, I manage to squeeze in an hour’s writing time at my children’s Dhol Lesson!
Imagine… Between four and twelve large drums beating, often not in time, providing me with inspiration… and often a headache too!
Then the drums provided me with inspiration to write a 52-word poem too! (Hope this is allowed Sacha!)
As a writer I have no home
I have no writerly fixed abode
In the dining room or on my bed
I scribe the stories in my head
My phone, tablet, laptop too
Occasionally, while on the loo!
But to have a space that’s truly mine
Now that would simply be divine!
And I tweeted my writer space photos to @Sacha_Black too, tagging #writespiration

Love Sacha’s #writespiration prompt this week!
Writespiration #114 52 Weeks in 52 Words Week 18
Your challenge is to describe an object in the most filthy way you can in 52 words, while being wholly accurate and use a pingback so everyone can guess.
So… here we go, how filthy can we get…?!
Comment with your answers!!!
Succulent you taste.
As my teeth sink in,
you spurt
your juices all around
my face.
I lick my lips.
Now let’s do something
different
I dip you into
creamy whiteness.
You drip
thick drops.
Catch them with my tongue
Pure heaven!
I lick my fingers
then pop you in my mouth…
