Writing to spec – you’ve heard the term. It means writing what the publisher wants. Can you do it? In our new feature – Make-A-Story™, we ask you to create a story with these elements. The story can be set in any time frame, any length, must adhere to our guidelines and have our standard Christian world view.

A basket of apples
A pumpkin patch



There is no time frame. You can submit any time. Please do let us know that you used the prompt, but you don’t have to note the date.
When we write these stories, what is the time frame? If we submit the story to Pelican, do we reference the writing prompt date?
