A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend. How you use the prompt is up to you. Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter for your novel…anything you like. Or take the challenge below – there are no prizes – it’s not a competition but rather a fun writing exercise. If you want to share what you come up with, please leave a link to it in the comments.
Word Prompt
Renege
Challenge
Weekend Writing Prompt #277: This weekend your challenge is to write a poem or a piece of prose in exactly 49 words using the word “Renege”.
The challenge is simple: each week you will be given an exact number of words you can use to write a poem or piece of prose. You can use any format or style you like; go wherever your inspiration takes you. The only rules are these:
- your poem / prose must contain this week’s word (see note below). The word does not have to count towards the exact word count total – it can be in the title, or the first letters of the lines of a poem can spell it out – you can be as creative as you want as long as it’s there somewhere.
- the length of your poem / prose must match the number of words stated in this week’s challenge. No more. No less.
- A note on the word: you can use any variation of the word (for example: call, calls, calling, called etc). If you find you are struggling to use this week’s word you may substitute it for a synonym – just include a note to explain the swap. Remember, this is supposed to be fun! 🙂
Can’t wait to read what you have come up with!

Happy weekend Sammi and everyone. I’ve kept the promise of 49 words, not to include the title.

HI Sammi! I always enjoy your prompts, but I haven’t added my contributions lately as they’ve been going way off the word limit! 🙂 Not sure what’s happened recently but I can’t seem to keep them short at the moment. I cheekily request that you give us a 200 word limit for the next one 😀 But of course, I shall leave that up to you to decide! 🙂
Sunra ❤
