With the summer holidays well underway, it’s time to spend less time working and more time chilling! To that end, how about a writing sprint challenge?
The characters, setting and genre are for you to decide, but, can you write a story of 10,000 words or more based on one of the following three motivation prompts?
- Driven by Thirst, their goal is to try and make the world a better place.
- Driven by Deception, their goal is to clear their name.
- Driven by Cruelty, their goal is to gain redemption.
The challenge specifications are as follows:
- Do not mix and match the results from the 3 motivations; choose only one
- You have 10 days to complete this challenge, From August 10th to the end of August 19th.
- You can also use results from any other Gen as you wish.
- You can use the Simple or Detailed option where applicable. Choose whatever options you like
- You can change the results to suit your needs.
- You can add in your own details as you like.
For an additional challenge, try using these words or themes in your story: Centered, Liking and Yearning
Can you do it?
Submitting your story:
Be sure to include the generated results where possible so that we can see what you were working with. Please include a name with your story (real or a username) and age (or age range), and let me know if you’re happy for me to share/quote your story. (Your story belongs to you though; I’m not going to run off with it! :D)
You must mention whether your story is NSFW or includes sensitive themes, gore/violence, etc. Give your story an age rating if necessary!
