🕺 Welcome to the Scholar and Scribe Invitational 🕺
The Invitational is our bi-weekly, super-duper, writing contest. It is where we match quills and draw blood all for the sake of the craft. We all know a 'friendly' competition never hurts anyone, much, especially when it can be used as a platform to improve your writing. 🙌

🤺 Prompt 🤺
🎥 Genre: Thriller
🎨 Theme: Hunt
✅ WHAT THIS PROMPT IS: A generic, thrilling description of something/someone going after something/someone else.
❌ WHAT THIS PROMPT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE: Elk hunting with the bros.
While at first glance this prompt might seem restrictive, I think you'll find it to be rather broad. It's very directional. And we here at S&S believe in helping you all become the best version of the author you are. This prompt falls into those guidelines perfectly.
May the odds - and your creative energy - be ever in your favor!
