The 2026 Novel Writing Challenge: Task #137

You know what is coming…

Task #137: Edit your Chapter 11. I know, but it needs to be done.

And for those of you needing a break from editing, or who have completed your edits and are waiting for the rest of us to catch up…

Today’s writing exercise is another of the scene writing variety. The goal is to keep your writing to 200 words or less. Focus the scene and really hone down your writing to show what is there but adding nothing extraneous.

Today’s scene deals with…A power outage

It could be what caused the power outage, it could be in a place where suddenly the power goes out. Whatever the situation, write it your way, include the power outage and keep the word count under 200.

As always, happy writing.
