Challenge 307:
A GOOD DAY

Some days, things just go right.

The sun is shining, and the temperature’s nice, maybe with a light breeze. If you have to travel, the trip is easy – all green lights if you’re driving, a pleasant walk or ride if you’re not. Everyone you have to talk to is cooperative; even if the day started out rough, it’s getting better by the minute. This time, everything’s going to be okay.

How do your characters feel about having a good day? Are they suspicious, thinking it might be too good to be true? Do they just enjoy it? How often do they have good days?

Write a story about a good day.

BONUS GOAL: Everything’s Coming Up Roses

If your submission features roses, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, July 20 at 9:00PM EST.

• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 307 – a good day
• If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here

Hello on Tuesday! What kind of a writing day has it been so far today -- or if today hasn't gotten going yet, how did you fare yesterday?

- I thought about my fic once or twice
- I wrote
- I did some planning and/or outlining
- I did research and/or canon review
- I edited
- I've sent my fic off to my beta
- I posted today!
- I'm taking a break
- I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

Tuesday Discussion: It is really hot where I am, so hot it is hard to get any work done, even something "quiet" like writing. Does extreme weather affect your writing at all?

Hello on Sunday! What kind of a writing day has it been so far today -- or if today hasn't gotten going yet, how did you fare
