31 Days of Fantasy - December 2020 Writing Challenge

–  This month’s theme is fantasy, though the rules are a little different. Instead of doing a full story for every prompt (unless you’re up for it), the challenge is to brainstorm and write at least 500 words pertaining to each day’s prompt, and then on the 20th choose the writing prompt you were most inspired by and submit a short story around the initial blurb. Submit your draft by the 31st and every story submitted under the hashtag will be in a wrap-up post on the 3rd of January! I encourage you to post your daily responses to the prompts, but it’s not required in order to be featured in the wrap-up.

 I look forward to seeing all of your guys’ responses here using the hashtag #WNSfantasy and over on Instagram, where you can tag me @ writingandsuch.

This challenge begins on December 1st, but I always post a day early to give you some time to plan stuff out, because you may need to switch some days around to accommodate your schedule. You’re free to do one day’s challenge on another day if your schedule doesn’t allow enough time to complete that day’s challenge. Best of luck to you!
