Welcome back! This last week and a bit; it’s been a wild ride, what with all the food, celebrations, family and lounging around, but now, it’s time to brush off all the confetti and get ourselves back to school, work, and most importantly, Writing!
Welcome to 2016! And, welcome to the January Writing Challenge!
Congratulations to all you who took part in the December Challenge; don’t forget to send in or upload your stories to Wattpad if you haven’t already!
Last month was about Characters. This month, we’ll focus on the world around them. The challenge this time is to use the City, Law and Fantasy Race Gens.
The goal, is to write a short story of at least 10,000 words before the 30th of the month using the aforementioned Gens:
City Gen (Free use): Use this Gen to determine the location of your story. You may generate any number of cities and use one or more as the locations in your story.
You may NOT edit plots or mix-and-match city results.
Law Gen (Free use): Use this Gen to produce a selection of laws for your city. You may use as many laws as you like.
Fantasy Race Gen (Semi-restricted): Use this Gen to create a featured race in your story. You can create as many as you want and they can be the protagonists or antagonists etc, but they MUST be a main part of the story.
You can write as many stories as you wish in any genres that you choose.
Send your stories to RanGen HERE (please don’t send them as attachments; put the story in the body of the email), and write your name (it doesn’t need to be your real name) and “January Writing Challenge” in the subject line. If you’re having trouble sending long stories in one email, split it in two and clearly mark both as part 1 and part 2.
Alternatively, you can create a free account on Wattpad and submit your stories there. Don’t forget to send me the link!
Be sure to include with your story the results of all the generators!
