Hey Guys! You missed this chance-5.jpg

#SpillTheBeans-39.jpg


Hello Beanies,

Welcome to Week 11 of our #SPILLTHEBEANS Creative Writing Challenge; We are most pleased because the past weeks have been excellent!

Effective this week and moving forward, there's a slight change: Our weekly challenge will be regarded as the #STB Creative Writing Club, instead of a Contest. Therefore, the topics will be presented the same, but there will be a highlight of the "Top Author for the Week" shown in the announcement video.

An incentive for the top author will be the chance to present a writing prompt to #theCoffeeGoddess or #MrNiceGuy through the community's discord, for the following week along with the usual writing prompts provided.

Thank you all for being involved so far, and we invite those of you who might be thinking about it to join in.


Please watch this short video to see last week's highlights:)


All the entries showed creativity and originality; some were excellently written, making it a great contest!
Last week saw a funny prompt, and this winning story was hilarious, clever, personal, and creative.

Thanks for raising the bar peeps!




See this week's topic below, with a countdown timer that needs to be observed. The entry deadline for posts ends on Wednesday, with the countdown timer at the top and the bottom of this post, guiding you to the cut-off time.

Late entries will be muted!

Have fun peeps!

Well done to @soychalbed on being Author of the Week!
A super prompt this week; should certainly be an entertaining journey through some of the worlds.

Looks like a few changes to the contest, I mean, writing club - they look good to me. To both Milly and Leaky, glad to see the space evolving for the better.

I'm so excited to be a finalist 😲🤭congratulations to the winner @soychalbed it was an amazing story.
I don't know if it happens to you that every time I read a new scenario proposed by the @cincccf team I can't help but start brainstorming 😄...the dilemma then is to connect them all 😅hehehe.....
Best regards and best of luck everyone !!!

If it happens sometimes to avoid it I focus on a single scenario without reading the others 😁.

I do something similar too, I read all the options and the one that catches my attention the most to tell a possible story, that's the one I stick with 😁. Thank you very much for the advice friend @soychalbed, I will try to do it for the next one to see if your strategy works out for me hehe. Best regards and good luck!!!💕

Looks like there are quite a number of awesome entries already in this week. I decided to go for the historic fiction entry -
My piece centres around King James I, who of course took the throne from Queen Elizabeth. He felt like a very appropriate monarch to develop a history around, given the current change over.
