Thank you for joining our weekly writing prompt! If you're new, be sure to check out our community rules before posting in The Ink Well. (You can find them at the top of our [home page](https://peakd.com/c/hive-170798/created). And you will find all kinds of great resources for fiction writers in our [catalog of storytelling tips](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/catalog-of-fiction-writing-tips-from-the-ink-well). ## Stories from the Previous Week Thank you to who posted a story for [last week's prompt](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/the-ink-well-fiction-prompt-181): "Gypsy": - @ridgette - @rare-gem - @marriot5464 - @iskawrites - @wlin - @bisolamih - @rafzat - @zerah - @popurri - @adese - @kinganny - @abigail04 - @terjix - @rammargarita - @rinconpoetico7 - @amarachi22 - @treasuree - @trexane - @mmeyenejoseph - @omolayo - @bipolar95 - @nancybriti1 - @eberechi01 **Author Shout-outs** We'd like to call out a few stories that got high marks from our curators this week. ### @bipolar95 [*Dared to Be Different*](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@bipolar95/dared-to-be-different) Curator comment: > @bipolar95 writes the sweetest fiction about a mother who wants to see her daughter safely married off instead of with her head in a book. She does a phenomenal job with character development, scintillating informative dialogue and atmosphere conjuring. The story is unusual, in that the mother attempts to deflect her daughter’s interest in studying because most stories are a total mirror of this attitude. ### @mmeyenejoseph [*A Traveling People*](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@mmeyenejoseph/a-traveling-people) Curator comment: > @mmeyenejoseph takes us deep into the most horrible moment of a young gypsy girl's life, as soldiers burn the huts of her village. We hear horses and the clashing of swords. As the sounds of the invasion come nearer, Lavinia's parents hide her in a secret space under the floor. She hears the sounds of the soldiers as the invaders arrive, and her parents try to defend their home, remaining quiet just as her father said. A commander seems to sense that she is there, but is called away without discovering her. When the dust settles, she hears the familiar voices of relatives, and emerges from her hiding place. Her uncle and aunt whisk her away to safety, telling her in response to her questions about her parents, "They'll be with us wherever we go." ### @nancybriti1 [*Gypsy Magic*](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@nancybriti1/fiction-gypsy-magic-magia-gitana-eng-esp) Curator comment: > @nancybriti1 writes the story of Álvaro, who is bewitched by a beautiful young gypsy palm reader at a fair. The gypsy girl foretells his death in a cryptic message that suggests there is something magical in her message. Though he lives in fear, he is drawn back to her, spending a week with her in a romantic tryst that ends in a death-like experience once she moves on with the traveling group. Finally, after some time in this death state, Álvaro is coaxed by his friends and rises again. ## Fiction Writing Prompt of the Week This week's prompt is: "**Blind ambition**." Ambition is generally a good thing, right? Well, in the case of ambition that is so forceful that others can be ignored or harmed along the way, it can be devastating. Google's automated AI definition of blind ambition is: > Blind ambition is a strong desire to achieve something without preparation, direction, or clarity. It can lead to tunnel vision, irrational behavior, and a lack of consideration for consequences or the well-being of others. People driven by blind ambition may prioritize external validation and material gain over personal fulfillment and ethical considerations. This can have detrimental effects on both individuals and organizations, and can cause people to compromise their convictions, sacrifice their character, and use others to their advantage. Tell us a story about a character with blind ambition. Perhaps the story is told by that person, and they come to a realization about those they have harmed in their drive to succeed. Or your story might be told by they wife or husband of the person with blind ambition, as they realize that they will never be as important as their spouse's goals. Or it could even be told from the perspective of the child of a parent with blind ambition. We hope this gets your imagination going! Good luck. Remember, as always, we are looking for the elements of *story*. These include: * Great first lines * Good settings * Well-developed characters * Integration of action, dialogue and narrative * A conflict that intrigues the reader * A "story arc" which results in the resolution of the conflict and brings the story to a satisfying conclusion * And of course, we are looking for well-edited stories that are not littered with typos or grammatical errors — please use the free Grammarly tool for grammar and spelling checks (and not AI writing or rephrasing tools for revising) You can find more on all of these topics in the [catalog of storytelling tips](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/catalog-of-fiction-writing-tips-from-the-ink-well).
