“The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe.” – Gustav Flaubert

Writing is always more fun (and more consistent) when you aren't doing it alone. That’s why I’m asking you all to join me for an October Writing Challenge! 🍂 October Writing Challenge 👻 Goal: Build momentum before NaNoWriMo by writing a little every day in October. Challenge Guidelines: - ✅ Write at least 500 words a day (or pick your own daily goal). - ✅ Share weekly check-ins in the community (progress, struggles, wins). - ✅ Bonus: End the month with a short story, 15k words toward a project, or just a stronger writing habit. Weekly Prompts (for Skool + IG) - Week 1: Fall into Routine 🍁 → Establish your writing spot & habit. - Week 2: Cozy Up with Characters 🔥 → Write a scene that reveals something new about your MC. - Week 3: Plot Twists & Pumpkins 🎃 → Add an unexpected turn to your story. - Week 4: Harvest Your Words 🌾 → Reflect, revise, or expand on your strongest piece this month. 👉 Caption idea to announce the challenge:“October is the warm-up lap for writing season. 🍂 Before November’s NaNoWriMo rush, we’re setting a simple goal: 500 words a day for 31 days. It’s not about perfection. It’s about building cozy consistency. Who’s in?”

“The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self, to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar, is the test of their power.” – Toni Morrison
