March is National Women’s History Month. Woo hoo!
br>
I thought we’d use famous women in history as our inspiration this week. To offer more flexibility, I decided to use what they are known for, rather than their proper names.
br>
If you’d like to use the historical figures themselves, you can use this list of famous women in history that I referenced.
br>
As usual, our contest will begin with three things: character, setting, and genre.
br>
We spun, and our three elements are character: journalist, setting: the White House, and genre: horror.
br>
It is not required, but you are challenged to make your main character a female.
br>
Feel free to write a story using those or spin a new set of your own. Be sure to include which three elements you’re using.
