October Writing Challenge
The only rule is that there are none.
Now, don’t be upset if you didn’t get to contribute to September’s challenge or you didn’t get to contribute the way you wanted to. There’s a new one for October! It’s a little early but I am going to release it early so you have time to prepare.
Starting October 3rd there is a new writing challenge! For every weekday in October, I have posted a short writing prompt. The idea is to read the prompt and chew on it for a while before writing. Then, respond to the post for at least one hour. Post your response to the Bacon and Beach Day Publication where like-minded writers can respond to your work and you can respond to others. I have suggested that we use the rose, thorn, bud style of peer review. This means we comment on one thing we love or appreciate about the work, one thing we think needs work, and one thing that you think the author can develop either in that piece or another.
Now, let me tell you how I have prepared myself for next month’s challenge which is only a few days away. First, I have taken each prompt and created a draft. My title is the prompt, the subtitle is the date, and then I chose an image that relates to my gut reaction to the quote.
This month I have searched the various celebrations created for the different days in October. You have options. There are far more reasons to celebrate in the past several years than there ever have been before. Let’s take advantage!!!!
