I'm not sure if I was the only one, but there was a 404 error coming to the site this morning so I'm posting this now for posterity. The challenge is alive and well and cross posted on several platforms because writing is something that everyone can do EVERY DAY. ~ See you tomorrow!

What is the 99-word Writing Challenge?

It is a DAILY writing challenge that prompts you to write exactly 99-words to complete a story based on Merriam Webster's Word of the Day. The goal is to stimulate the writing bug, expand our vocabulary, and support other writers within the Steemit and HIVE writing community.

I am always tempted to ask, ‘Compared to what?'
