King Tut’s Tomb was opened on November 29th, 1922. Write about the mummy’s curse or something related to the great pharaoh.
Veteran’s Day and Remembrance Day are November 11th. Give us a good story with either of these two holidays.
November 2nd is Plan your own Epitaph Day. Write an epitaph and then tell us why you would want this on your gravestone.
November 5th is Man Make Dinner Day. Most married couple would love this day. Write us a funny story about a husband making dinner.
And as always you can write about Thanksgiving.

The Suggestions
1. Check your story multiple times for typos and check back several times before the contest closes to see if you think you should do edits as a result of some of the feedback that you get. You will have a better chance of being considered for a trophy if your piece is well polished by the time it is judged as a finalist.
2. Since this is an interactive site, take the opportunity to read and comment on some of your fellow contestants. It is a great way to start getting to know other writers and initiate contacts that will most likely return the favor and read and comment on your works. This will not affect the judging of the contest, but it will help you become accustomed to interacting with other writers on the site.
3. Keep your readers eyes in mind when choosing your font and background colors. A story that is easy to view is more likely to be well received by readers. If you are in doubt about whether or not your type shows well against your background, then opt for white background with black type. You can always change it after the contest if you want to experiment with colors
4. Be sure to read all the rules. It doesn't hurt to read them twice. It would be a shame to be overlooked for trophy because some silly rule was not adhered to.
Happy writing and best of luck to you all.

Sorry, FlyRy
Still, these are only prompts that can be used in any genre you like to write in. You like 'Murder' Thanksgiving is easy--someone drops dead at dinner--the killer laced the dressing with peanutbutter.
You like Scifi--Vets--make perfect science fiction, horror or romance stories.
Can't wait to review your work
