Where Writing and Success Come Together
Create a story recalling the first day of school.
We’ve made it to day five! Our list of stories is growing. How are you feeling about it? What stories are standing out to you so far? Have you shared a bit about it in the Discord? We’d love to see it 🙂
Today’s challenge prompt should be enjoyable. Did you remember to share the favorite part of your story on yesterday’s thread? Or in the comments on the site?
The option is there for all of us so we can get feedback, offer support, and connect with each other. I’ll get mine posted to the discord as well.
On to the prompts:
Your story starts with a character racing from the police. How did they end up in that position?
OR
Use the following sentence in your story:
Sirens echoed in the distance
Within seconds, the calm breeze became a roaring, whirling wind.
Today is going to be more challenging for me. This should create some chaos though for the main characters. Let me know what you think about this prompt when you’re done with it.
Have you enjoyed having streamers and other writers to chat with? I know the entire community has been so supportive and a whole lot of fun!
You should make sure to check out our evening writers – we have many! One I am always visiting is KittenSaphire. She’s a an adventure author.
An earthquake devastates the home of a loved one and your character must get them out of the affected area.
Include the following sentence in your story:
Bright green hues flow freely in the window.
Fantastic things are going on. What streamers have you visited? I can’t wait to drop into http://twitch.tv/i_eragon_i – so far my schedule has conflicted a bit but I’m sure we’ll get it straight. You should check ’em out.
A gem found hidden away becomes the key to righting a wrong.
The first two days finished off nicely. The writing was fun, but so was visiting streamers. Have you seen Angsthase yet? She’s an afternoon streamer and part of why the guidebook looks amazing. She really put a lot of time into the final look and beautiful design. I’m so thrilled with it.
Bragging aside, that’s the first of two prompts. Watch for the second to go live in about ten minutes! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Prompt:
A kitty stalks the darkness of a home hinting only that it exists, despite the home having no pets.
OR
Use this sentence to start your story:
Moving day was easy until…
Was yesterday’s prompt fun? Which one did you pick? I hope you created something you really enjoyed. Today we’re going to change things up a bit. Hope you find it as interesting and creative or more so.
Keep in mind you can find the streamer schedule at the 31 stories page. Check it out when you’re ready to write with a streamer. Someone will be available that will be encouraging and supportive.
It’s hard to believe that August has arrived and so has our second challenge for the year. Things are going to be fantastic. We have 31 days of fun ahead!
Things to remember:
Now, onto the prompts!
Write a story for your mom
Create a tale for your mother about whatever you think she’d enjoy or want to read. Have fun with it.
OR
Use the following sentence in your story:
Whining pierced the silence.
Drop a section in the comments of the post or in the participation channel of the Discord. Can’t wait to see what you come up with.
As we get closer to 31 short stories, it’s my hope to share somethings to look forward to.
To help the creation process, prompts will be shared daily. Each one will be posted to the website here and auto-published in the Discord account too. A little streamlined, easy to find stuff is a wonderful thing.
The prompts will include an image, a quick suggestion for a story topic. It will be dependable for anyone who may need the prompt for their inspirational source during the month.
Many of the prompts will be able to apply to any genre and category. The broad nature should leave a lot of room for creative expression. Below is an example of what you may find on the site for your prompts.
Your main character needs to stop someone from a life and death decision that would leave chaos in its wake.
Once you’ve finished your prompt you can share it in Discord, or on the site. Give us your best lines or excerpt from the fun work you’ve created for that day! We can’t wait to see what you create and share ours with you.
As we look forward to the launch event, we have a plethora of opportunities to create, connect, and discuss all the things coming up. I hope to see you in the Discord.
