RE: The Culinary Challenge

in The Ink Welllast year

A bustling kitchen in a high-end restaurant, filled with the tantalizing aroma of sizzling spices and simmering sauces.

You set the scene vividly. One understands from the start of this piece that you visualize the setting and you know how to share that concept with readers.

There is an issue, however, that prevents us from curating this piece at the moment. The pictures must each be sourced, with a link to that source. A general "pexels" is not adequate. We need to be able to check the sources to make sure they are free of copyright.

Also, some other less compelling but important points: this is a fiction story, but it is written in response to the nonfiction prompt. You use the prompt well, but this is obviously not nonfiction. Also, the story only has 304 words. We suggest an approximate minimum of 750. That's not a fast rule but guideline. We believe that it's not feasible to fully develop a story in something much shorter than that.

We very pleased that you choose to post in the community. We love to encourage writers, and it seems you love to write. We look forward to receiving more stories from you. If you correct the image issue, we will curate this story, although the curation will be modified by the issues we mention.

Thank you for sharing this story with us.
