The 2026 Novel Writing Challenge: Task #141

Morning all, you know what time it is. That’s right, it’s task time. so…

Task #141: Edit your chapter fifteen. (we are about halfway through so woo hoo, do a happy dance)

And for those needing an editing break, or not editing at all, today’s writing exercise. it is the last of our 200 or less word scenes. On Monday we will switch to a different exercise. And so, using 200 words or less write a scene that involves…

The demolition of an icon

You can take that however you want. It could be a statue or a building. you can go back to the old school iconoclast battles and make it religious or you can make it the destruction of the reputation of a person who is a community icon. Let your mind go crazy as it picks the path, just remember, stick to 200 words or less and really drill down to the important bits with clear and concise writing.

As always, happy writing.
