The 2026 Novel Writing Challenge: Task #159

Morning everyone. Let’s jump into it.

Task 159:If you haven’t finished your full read through, then finish, make your list of questions and begin your final edits.

I know, fairly obvious right?

Writing exercise: Take the object below and describe it in detail. Then give it meaning in your story.

Today’s object…ash

It could be in a fireplace where no fire should be. Maybe it is in an ash tray when no one smokes in the house it could be a burned letter or an old cigar. Think about what type of ash it is and what it can tell you.

As always, happy writing.
