Write On! Online – November Challenge
THE NOVEMBER CHALLENGE: WRITE YOUR TURKEY
Write On! Online’s monthly contests are designed to encourage you to give those writing muscles a workout.
Sometimes the best ideas are ones that started out as bad ones. Pick what you think is your worst idea, and write a short story. You may end up with a hidden—or not so hidden—gem. OR you may just have a fun time writing something that normally wouldn’t receive any creative energy. Most writers censor themselves way too much—they only want to write something perfect. When you start out by eliminating that “perfect” option, you have no choice but to revel in the joy of the written word. Who knows? You may end up with the start of a new treatment, novel, or screenplay.
