The Prompt
Today I want you to mine your memory for a conversation that you will never forget…and give it to (at least) two different characters.
Tell as much of that story as you can in dialogue, without much narrative explanation.
Get the StoryADay Challenge Handbook for 2026 – custom warm-up and brainstorming exercises for every prompt, delivered as a private podcast with transcripts.
