March Stories
Sweet March breezes blow in, bringing freshness and new life. Let them inspire your writing.
By the third Tuesday of the month at 11:59 p.m. ET, post your story in the comments section below. You must include a message in the comments box for the upload to work.
Your story should:
- be no more than 1,250 words
- be formatted using a twelve-point font in Times New Roman, Cambria, Calisto, or other fonts with serifs.
- be double-spaced
- include page numbers
The following day, return to this page to learn who your feedback partners are, download your group’s stories, and begin reviewing their stories.
If you miss the deadline to upload a story and register for Feedback Group, you will not be assigned to a group. However, you can still attend and bring your story to the feedback session, read it aloud, and receive verbal feedback. You will be placed in a group with other “walk-in” attendees.
This is also a place where all Life Writers can come to enjoy fellow members’ stories. Then, if you care to, leave the authors a note of encouragement.

What a winter storm!

March entry because I’m tired of playing with it. This may be a submission to the Florida Writers Association Annual anthology, theme Fragmentation.
A thoughtful piece. I liked the descriptions and got a feel for your relationshio with your friend, Lee. It showed how men interact especially how they share their feelings.
Your recent edits improved this story greatly. I love it!
I have the worst time downloading anything. I need lessons on my laptop…until then…don’t hold your breath. And if anything is able to be opened, don’t bother…it’s not the story I wanted to send, blah, blah, blah
I came across the title in a previous prompt. This story came to mind. I welcome your comments.
Here is my story for March. Enjoy.
Dear Norma: What a beautifully written story filled with so many memories overflowing with love and respect for your dear grandmother and the realization that it was she, who opened the doors of reading and learning for you. I remember all those books and magazines as well so it was a ‘down memory lane’ for me to read your story today. Thank you. Don’t change a thing…this story is done. No more editing necessary.
