Writing Prompts – Creative Copy Challenge #338
Posted: June 6, 2013 Filed under: Copy Challenges | Tags: writing prompts 12 CommentsSummer Super Special #338
These ten words are not random at all. They are from the mad mind of Anklebuster, who has been masquerading as an administrator since the end of April. He has concocted a devilish scheme over the past ten challenges. Today, it hatches!
Do your usual writing prompt, or take the Anklebuster Challenge: “What has been going on since CCC #328?” Your submission should attempt to answer that in a creative way. Spoilers are perfectly fine but, if you can obscure your answer to keep the next writer guessing, so much the better.
This is a writing prompt. Bet you can’t do it! Take the 10 words below and crush writer’s block by creating a cohesive, creative short story! And remember: after (if) you finish entering your submission into the comment field, highlight your words and click the bold button to make them stand out and help you determine if you forgot any words. (If you’ve missed previous writing prompts, we BET YOU CAN’T do those, either.) NOTE: Our bolding plugin is gone, so you’ll have to put <b> and </b> around each of your words if you want them to stand out, but NOT REQUIRED THOUGH.
- Baseballer
- Osteopaths
- Lieutenant
- Shadchanim – plural of shadchan, a Jewish marriage broker
- Herrenvolk – (German) master race
- Economists
- Vigilantes
- Ideologues – people who zealously advocate an ideology
- Sycophants
- Morticians
NOTE: Don’t copy and paste from MS Word. Use a program like notepad that removes formatting or just type in the comment field itself. Also, finish your submission, THEN bold the words. Thanks. (And don’t forget to tweet this and share it with your friends.)

Goodbye CCC!
Posted: June 3, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized 10 CommentsIt’s been one hell of a ride for this website. So many cool stories, so many cool friends met along the way. Yet, I no longer have time for the site like I used to and I think you CCC regulars are in the same boat. Everything is tougher out there and we’re forced to concentrate all our efforts into activities that support us and our families.
I’ll miss everyone dearly, but do me a favor and continue to write. Even if you have to give yourself 10 random words twice a week, please continue to do so – your writing will thank you for it.
I’d like to publicly thank Mitch for taking over for me for May. If any CCC regulars would like to take on June, let me know and I’ll set you up as an administrator and you can keep it alive for a month. Perhaps after that point, I will be in a position to do it again. Contact me if so.
Take care all.
