There have been some amazing responses to the first ten days of mini writing challenges. Here are the links to the stories that have been posted so far. If I have missed any off, get in touch and I will add it to the list.
Also, don’t worry if you are late to the challenge, I will still add your link to this post once you have written your response as long as you have published it during September. That means there is still plenty of time to join in!
Day 1 – Write a story in 25 words or less about a place you would like to visit but have never been.

oops I forgot to paste the link. Here it is again, my stab at days 1-6:
http://melindakucsera.com/2016/09/19/chasing-ilium-a-micro-story-saga
I decided to do a frame story and incorporate each prompt as a micro story within a larger storyline. So as the link suggests, it’s a dairy style micro story fantasy saga because I love a challenge. Thanks again!

There is no set place to post the links so post them wherever you’re happiest (I know – perhaps I should have been better prepared to host a challenge! lol)
I have posted a links post for days 1-10 already to which I will add your links, and the links post for days 11-20 will be posted tomorrow, so if you want you can leave it to me 🙂
