This Week's Fictional Short Story Challenge provided by frequent participant, writer Cathy Collar
| | While many of you are used to seeing Cathy's smiling face and reading her stories that always fill us with hope and smiles, what you may not know is that Cathy is an amazing jewelry designer/creator. She also lost her beautiful daughter Anna almost 8 years ago to leukemia -- a daughter who had a dream of her own jewelry line. Cathy and her other daughters have kept Anna's dream alive and use the sales of their jewelry to help others battling illnesses. 100% of all sales of Anna's Legacy Jewelry goes to designated foundations, research, and Joy & Laughter Gifts (of which Linda's daughter was a recipient~receiving a special gift from Anna's Legacy that brought both a smile and hope at a time she needed it). If you'd like to find out more about Anna's Legacy and see more of their lovely jewelry creations, visit:Anna's Legacy.com and/or Anna's Legacy blog. | | |  Beautiful Anna | | Thank you, Cathy, for providing such a wonderful legacy for your daughter and for all that you have done to help others. And thank you for providing this week's challenge words!

The Fictional Short Story Challenge
Write A Short Story Using Very Special Mystery Ingredients  This week's challenge comes from another Clever Fiction contributor, Linda Boulanger. Linda is a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic whose writing dreams include not only seeing her own work in print, but helping others fulfill that same dream. Through TreasureLine Publishing, she has provided a helping hand to many because she knows firsthand how amazing it feels to see your name on the cover of a book and how much easier it is to get there when you have someone beside you. Beyond her writerly world, Linda manages a home filled with 4 busy children, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and a husband.Linda’s prompt challenge includes using the following phrase somewhere in your story: I used to dream…You may add to the phrase to complete it, change the "I" to he, she, they, it... or use it as is, but it must be there somewhere.
