What is the 99-word Writing Challenge?

It is a DAILY writing challenge that prompts you to write exactly 99-words to complete a story based on Merriam Webster's Word of the Day. The goal is to stimulate the writing bug, expand our vocabulary, and support other writers within the Steemit and HIVE writing community.
