#writeblr challenge

If I skip three consecutive days, I shall restart.

Progress for today is:

Cleanup Wordcount Today: Around 3.3k/74k

Cleaned Wordcount Total: 35k (It's exactly 35,007 pft)/79.8k (since I'm also rewriting a bit as well)

Chapter Break-Offs Decided: I'm now done with the previous Chapters 1 and 2. I've decided the start point for 1 chapter; I now have 6 total chapters, and am now working on the 7th! :)))

This prompt was to make a moodboard inspired by the setting of the final confrontation, so here's something inspired by finale of Face the Music!

If your Wip(s) were adapted into a video game, what type of video game would it be ?You can make it simple or completely detailed.

I'll start.

My novel ,Tara, could be adapted into an indie game like Life is Strange,mystery and choices, and maybe Adeventure, which is narrative heavy.

Longer version: It would be an independent game, narrative heavy with themes of physiological horror with choices and boss fights and I know Stranger Things isn't a videogame or think of Silent Hill Other World for our characters, fully scripted and scary monsters. It would be scripted, heavily so almost like a mini movie's.Sci fi would also be a theme and some areas even a bit of survival horror.

(I am very into Horror Games but even I have to do research on its genres.(

Since one of my MCs mental health depletes with a bar over his head and you have to keep him from spiraling with hobbies, people and books. We would see a lot of cutscenes, long cinematics and running. And even a dual Pov, where we meet other characters apart from the main two. I weirdly imagine it to be 3rd person where you see our characters interact with others and their thoughts.

There would be mechanics were you're timed and have to fight beasts and even people who aren't human or even puzzles for finding stiff. Like hide,run , inspect.

And romance, cause why not.

Enjoy.

A staple in the Scareuary horror writing challenge, the Coppe's Webbe has you randomly generate a word from this list (simply refresh the page to generate) and create a spooky web of stories, snippets, or even poems related to the word you've generated.

COPPE'S WEBBE SCHEDULE

February 1: Generate We'll be generating our words and sharing them! You can also share any preliminary ideas that you have for creepy stories/snippets/etc to write based on those words.

February 2-7: Spin the Web! Having trouble with your word and want a brainstorming buddy? Send your word in as an ask and I'll respond with 5 different spooky ideas to get you started.

February 7: Story Share For those who are going to try and complete a story, drabble, poem, or any other kind of horror fiction piece by the end of this first week, the 7th is the day we'll share them! If you haven't written a full story but have a synopsis, you can share that, too.

This month, I want to give adequate time to feature each theme/event. That's why I've set date ranges. However, that does not mean that you have to do them at the time I will be featuring them.

In other words, even though I've scheduled some fun stuff for Coppe's Webbe from FEBRUARY 1st -> FEBRUARY 7th, you can take the whole month to do the challenge or decide to do it later on in the month.

Not quite sure how to proceed?

Check out this example from last year.

Send in an ask!

I will try to compile all Qs into a FAQ post for convenience for next year's Scareuary.

Want to be tagged on posts? Let me know!

Hey, I had a fun idea.  Post a cover collage of other works that have had the biggest influence on something you’ve written or your current WiP.  Tag ur friends if u want.

Summer Chaos Writing Challenge

Time for a little more of an official post now that my other post has floated around for a couple days!! The Summer Chaos Writing Challenge is a wonderful way for writers to let lose with their creative juices in a completely unhinged, practically unplanned story with random strangers equally unprepared!

Here’s how it works:

Due to the number of people interested there will be several groups/pairs of writers and you’ll be matched based on your answers to the Google form attached

Writers will be able to decide on themes, tropes, and a brief description of the main character as well as a title for the characters role ie villain, love interest, best friend etc.

WRITERS MUST NOT DISCUSS PLOT POINTS FOR THE STORY

Writers will have a rough schedule of about 2/3 days per person to write a scene/chapter before the next person in the group/pair takes their turn

This will continue until the story reaches its natural end or one or more of the writers decide they no longer want to continue the project**

Writers can make a mini presentation on their work to post on tumblr and you are free to share the work on this platform with the rest of the writeblr community!

**in this case, if the leaving writer permits the remaining writer may continue the story without them or receive a new partner!

This is supposed to be a fun way to explore themes and ideas and break away from things like outlining and plot lines and to just indulge in some writing, unabashed and unfiltered. Of course there are a few rules to make sure everyone has a great writing experience and I will check up on writers throughout the summer!

Rules:

no discussing plot

no editing other writers work

try your best to stick to the schedule - let your partner or me know if you need an adjustment!

do not repost any of the writing on other platforms

you may withdraw from the competition at any time 

all members will receive a copy of the document at the end of the challenge! 

I don’t know if I should make a discord server or not, so feel free to tell me if you think that’s something you would enjoy! The google form will be open for a week so please go ahead and reblog so anyone who is interested can join so I can match people as soon as possible. The challenge will run from early to mid september (unless you feel your story has reached a natural conclusion before that!). 

I was tagged by @zoestorm for this, so thank you!

Rules: Post seven sentences from your latest WIP and then tag (up to) seven people to do the same.

All of the following are lines from my upcoming novel, Flipping Out, a genderfuck coming-of-age crime/heist romance dramedy (genres are for cowards anyway). I hope you enjoy reading some of these as much as I enjoyed writing them.

1. It started in Fuckoff, Nowhere. Well, technically it started in Marston, Virginia, but who the fuck cares about Marston Fucking Virginia?

2. It was also far enough from any kind of major hub of human civilization for some old school “Dixie pride” — a dog-whistle so loud it could kill a chihuahua — to have seeped into the walls of the local Presbyterian church and to come dribbling out of the pastor’s mouth.

3. He took a step to the right and one of his dad’s sandals sailed through where his head had been a second ago. Even at the speed it was going, the scent trail was potent-going-on-pungent.

4. Smug had a face and it was, somehow, Sigmund Freud.

5. “the happiest day of a woman’s life is the day he realizes he can be a hot guy”

6. The trailer park near Plymouth, New Jersey was a hole; the kind of hole people fall into when a society is built like a latrine.

7. “Hey, I could still be a faggot.”

“What, like a girl-faggot?”

“Sure,” Beatrice said, raising her beer. “Girl who is a faggot. That’s me.”

“Woah.”
