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 writing community.
