Where Writing and Success Come Together
The momentum shifted after the slide.

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:

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.

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.

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.
