[#285 | Fresh Start] Challenge Post

Challenge 285:
FRESH START
Sometimes your best option is just to start over.

Maybe it’s a project that isn’t going well, or a job that hasn’t worked out. Maybe it’s a new day, or a new year, one of those timepoints that encourage you to think about changes you want to make. Maybe it’s something more drastic – a new career or even a whole new life. Whatever the case, it’s time for a new start.

What does that look like? Is it by choice, or are your characters forced into it by circumstance? Is it easy, or not so much?

Write a story about a fresh start.

BONUS GOAL: “New year, new me!"

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!


Challenge ends Monday, January 5 at 9:00PM EST.

Whoops! That is not, thank you. I'll edit it, but just in case anybody already started writing, you can count either quote for your bonus points, because that was my bad.

No worries. I had a feeling it was a New Year glitch.

It was indeed! The delights of trying to get a post up on time while the cats both want to be under the blankets because the neighbors have fireworks, haha.

That would do it! I've checked out the bonus goal, and I should be able to incorporate it into the fic I've started. At least, I hope so.
