Thank you for joining us in The Ink Well. Your story is truly one of a kind, bringing us into an incredibly vivid day in the life of two young men. That situation really stunk, literally!
We think that perhaps the perspective in this piece is from a firsthand account? If this is a true story, the proper tag would be #creativenonfiction. Creative non-fiction is a real story, told well.

Again, welcome and thank you for sharing this fantastic story with us!
You’re right about the story being from real life. I’m narrating an event that happened to myself and my room mate a couple of years back. Should I edit this story to add the tag or leave it for next time?
Oh and thank you very much for the resources. I’ll go through them because I have plans of writing more here.
The current creative non-fiction prompt is "A day in the life", which I think this fits right into! If you would like to submit this for the prompt, please drop your post link in the comments section there. If you decide to do that, then yes, you'll need the #creativenonfiction tag.
Our contest posts are lengthy, but full of important info! The tags we expect in each are listed; I look forward to seeing you participate in some!
Thank you for your awesome and enthusiastic response here. 😁
Okay. I might make a new submission for the “a day in a life” prompt. But if not, I’ll add the tag to this to qualify for an entry. Thank you again😁
