30 Days, 30 Stories: A Writing Challenge by stvnlra

This is a 30 day writing challenge, a collection of short stories. I've always been a world class procrastinator. The goal of this challenge is to get me writing regularly and, hopefully, break me of the perfectionist thinking that often paralyses me. The Rules: 1. Write and publish 1 short story (flash fic, vignette) per day for 30 days. 2. Stories must be at least 100 words. 3. They can be of any genre or subject matter. Like a lot of writers I have notebooks lying around full of random story ideas. Most of my older ideas are for novels and screenplays. Been going thru my old ideas and picking out the ones I think lend themselves to the short story format. I'm also working on coming up with NEW ideas that I can use here. Never been good at using prompts, but this is a good opportunity to experiment with those. All the stories here are original works written specifically for this challenge. They were written on the day they were published unless otherwise stated. Any similarities to other writers' work is purely coincidental. Thanks & enjoy! ~Laura, 20 Feb, 2018

Thirty One Days by pennsword

As a way to better myself as a writer I've decided to challenge myself this October. This book will begin on October 1st and end of October 31st. Everyday I will push myself to write and publish a chapter. I honestly do not know where this book is going, what will happen, or how it will end. But that is a journey we can take together! Since this is the month of October there will be a spooky, Halloween spirit, twist to this story. This challenge was inspired by a friend of mine, who wants to better herself as an artist, participating in Gore-tober. I went searching for a writer's verse and, when I was unable to find one, I ended up creating one myself!

All Hallows Eve Wish by OliverTwist96

What is it exactly about October that makes us yearn for the creepy and the scary creatures in the dark. We watch horror movies, wear masks, and scare our close friends. We become obsessed with the creatures of the night. And on the night of October 31st we dress up as monsters and ghouls and scare each other and ourselves. But have you ever wondered what the real creatures of the night do on Halloween? If we dress up as them on October 31st what do they dress up as? Do they stay in their homes and hand out candy to the little children? Or do they come out of their homes and join together for one night of Halloween fun? One lonely spirit is about to find out. Warning: ManxMan -This story will be completed the week of Halloween 2015
