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-198): "Fragile": - @bisolamih - @estilodereba - @terjix - @supernova004 - @blaqbarbie - @janaveda - @lrscarmen - @marriot5464 - @jazclassic - @gabmr - @zerah - @coolbabe88 - @rare-gem - @young-tari - @jennyzee1 - @popurri - @rinconpoetico7 - @iyimoga - @vickiee9 - @phyna - @abigail04 - @farahikram - @osomar357 - @offia66 - @kei2 - @aloysiusmbaba - @bipolar95 - @nancybriti1 **Author Shout-outs** We'd like to call out a few stories that got high marks from our curators this week. ### @gabmr [*Fragility Metamorphosed*](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@gabmr/fragility-metamorphosed) Curator comment: > To me, @gabmr seems like a literary genius. Like the convoluted inner petals of a rose in winter, this story unfurls like a burst of Spring to take us by surprise and make our world intensely interesting. Of course, the story is wonderfully original and engaging, but it’s the subtle unfolding of language that makes this piece outstanding. ### @supernova004 [*Finding Gold*](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@supernova004/finding-gold) Curator comment: > @supernova004 writes quite fluently a fiction in which he builds an interesting character. It's about a man who has grown up alone in life keeping himself at a survival level but who has developed a quiet and generous character. One day his luck seems to change when he accepts a job that pays very well. While doing the job he stumbles upon a metal box that makes him think, also to the reader, that he has found a hidden treasure. ### @kei2 [*But Always, A Warrior Comes Home*](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@kei2/but-always-a-warrior-comes-home) Curator comment: > @kei2 writes a beautiful, engaging and suspenseful fantasy story in which a young maiden is chosen to be the bride of a prince in one of the neighboring kingdoms. This is a big step up for her, as she has suffered from being unpopular and not a strong warrior like the other young women of her kingdom. But things go very much awry when she arrives at her new home, and she realizes she will be offered as a sacrifice to a beast in an annual ritual. But Akea has a special skill — one that she was ridiculed for in the past — that saves her from the Galiath. ## Fiction Writing Prompt of the Week This week's prompt is: "**Secret gift**" Welcome to the prompt of the week. Let's see your stories on the theme of secret gifts. What might be the circumstances for a secret gift? Maybe someone who knew they were going to be passing on to the next life sets aside a secret gift for a loved one to find after they die. Or maybe a young woman receives secret gifts from the man she loves because one of their families has forbade them from being together. Or, maybe a group of friends pull names from a hat to select the friend in the group to whom they will give a secret gift, and then they must try to guess the giver. We look forward to seeing the story you come up with for the "secret gift" prompt. 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). If you don't feel inspired by this prompt or the featured image, feel free to peruse any of our past prompts or our collection of idea-generators: - [50 Loglines](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/the-ink-well-writing-prompts-50-story-loglines) - [50 Story Ideas](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/the-ink-well-fiction-prompt-6-50-story-ideas) - [50 Imagination Ticklers](https://peakd.com/fiction/@theinkwell/the-ink-well-prompt-13-50-imagination-ticklers) ## Writing Prompt Guidelines: 1. **See The Ink Well FAQ**: Before you post in The Ink Well, we ask that you read our [FAQ post](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/important-faqs-about-the-ink-well-dos-and-donts-rules-and-tips) to familiarize yourself with our important community rules and guidelines. 1. **Story link**: Please be sure to post your story in [The Ink Well](https://peakd.com/c/hive-170798/created) community, and post a link to your story in a comment on this post. 1. **Hashtags**: Please use these hashtags: #fiction #writing #inkwellprompt #theinkwell — as well as #dreemport, if you are also posting your story to the DreemPort site. 3. ***Community support***: When you post in The Ink Well, please be sure to visit the work of at least two other community members and comment on their work. 4. **Title**: The title is up to you. You can come up with any title you wish. You do not need to name it after the prompt. ***Please do use the prompt word(s)*** within the story. 5. **Images**: Please only use images from license free and creative commons sites, like [Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/), [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/) and [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/). Images you find on the Internet are copyright protected and cannot be used. Be sure to provide all image source links. 6. **Length**: We request that story word counts are a maximum of 1,500 words in length and ideally 750-1000 words. This is *just a guideline*. Longer stories are okay too, but they tend to get fewer readers. Additionally, The Ink Well admins appreciate keeping to that maximum story length for our time management. (Note: We generally consider stories less than 750 words "too short!") 7. **Translations**: If you post a story that has been translated from another language, please include both the English version and the translation. **Reminders**: Be sure to *also* read our community rules. As always, please avoid violent, gory, bloody, brutal, sexist or racist themes and language, NSFW (not safe for work) stories like erotica, stories with a political or religious agenda, and stories featuring abuse of any kind. (We have a complete article about [The Ink Well stance on violence and brutality](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/violence-and-brutality-in-fiction-the-ink-wells-stance) for more information.) And do NOT use AI tools to write or manipulate your stories. You must provide *your own* unique content. #### Past Prompts Here are the past prompts if you would like to use them or refer back to them: _{#1: [Heart and Soul](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/the-ink-well-weekly-fiction-prompt-1-heart-and-soul);
