Writeblr Cauldron Week One Challenge!

Hey, you writers stew makers! It's October, and this year that means Octoblrfest. The theme is a "Writeblr Cauldron" where we will be cooking up our wips to the best of our abilities.

Here's the first challenge for you!

Step One: Gathering

It’s time to gather. Gather traits, hobbies, backstories, places, names, tropes—as writers and witches, we’re always gathering up something! Candies and sweets and single-beds and enemies who are lovers! 

What are you gathering today? 

A: Characters: gather something that is commonly seen in your characters. Letters that often start their names, personality traits that you use just a little too much, or hobbies that aren’t mentioned anywhere near often enough!

B: Worlds: gather up an interesting rule from your world! Is it about magic, is it a law created just for that city, is it the city itself? 

C. Plot: gather a trope that your plot centers around, a singular moment where two people arguing has a great impact, or a silly side-character that greatly affects the outcome of the book.

Once you have gathered up your desired ingredient, it’s time to put it to good use! Gather it together into a single basket—and by that, of course, I mean gather it into a single post and tell us all about the ingredients you’re using to craft your writeblr stew this Octoblrfest!
