#200 words a day challenge

@plasticdodecagon: Audacity

"Here," Firmly, Kendis pressed the hand-made pamphlet against the passing student's chest. Her fingers slipped away as the -- [Junior? Senior? Wait, no. He looked ... familiar? (Her eyes flicked down, and she glanced at the textbook dangling in his hands; it was 10th-grade English ...) Get out of town! This ... Fee Fi Fo Fum was a Sophmore??What bull hormones did they slip into his Coco Puffs?] -- dude grabbed onto folded paper.

Her brows furrowed as lips pinched together and pressed into a flat line. "Um." Her mouth needed a moment to catch up with the wheelies her brain was doing - (Was he on steroids?) - but once she did, she plowed on as if nothing happened, "Vote Stewert Langley for Class President! You want change from the audaciously good-for-nothing council we had last year? You'll look into Langley! His stats speak for themselves. Check out the pamphlet. I made it myself." 

"Uh, s-sure?" Stuttered the Goliath-Who-Apparently-Was-A-Sophmore-But-Whose-Name-She-Didn't-Recall-But-Was-Definitely-Thinking-She-Should-Learn-Because-Then-She-Could-Skip-Out-On-Borrowing-The-Janitor's-Ladder-To-Put-Up-Banners (also hand-made).

Kendis' lips quirked in a small, yet pleased, smile as they gave him a sharp nod of satisfaction, "Then I'll see you tonight, yeah? We're holding an information session after school!" 

She moved sharply forward, excited about filling their meeting numbers, but her efforts were met with multiple steps back. He looked a bit startled. Kendis frowned abruptly but remained still.

"Err, I'll - I'll think about it." 

"Do that. There'll be cookies. And it'll count toward your activity participation credits." 

'Goliath' blinked rapidly. It took an exorbitant amount of self-control for Kendis not to start bouncing on the balls of her feet in response. But she couldn't suppress her grin. She knew she'd gotten him. It was near the end of the school year, and everyone needed more activity credits. People were consistently always short. Making attending campaign meetings a way to reach those credits had been her idea. 

She'd told Langley that picking her as a manager was a sure thing. There was no doubt in her mind that he'd win. He was going to win and crush those --

"Okay. Okay, sure! I'll be there tonight. Thanks!"

"No problem Gol -- guy. See you there!"

ghost and soap that move in together in between missions to save on money and eventually - inevitably - fall into bed together. but somethings missing

they’re both a little too sharp around the edges, need something sweet to ease their cravings and soften their bites, but no one fits right

until you, that is. so don’t be surprised when they make sure you’re sticking around by any means necessary

I’ve really done badly the past few days with my 200 word a day challenge for May, but at least I wrote some today. Even if it wasn’t my WIP and was a ficlet instead lol.

So it was a total of 501 words! 😁

200 words a day for the month of May - day 3

200 more words of a (slowburn?) Erik/Christine teacher au bc i have Feelings about it

Did Christine flip through the staff roster with more enthusiasm than necessary? Of course. Though she tried to give the pretense of looking over all the names of her colleagues with equal interest, there was only one name she was looking for.

His name and (new) room number in mind, she headed there during her lunch break, but her heart sank when she saw that the door to his classroom was closed. There went her plans for casually strolling by and just so happening to notice him.

Before she could lose her nerve though, she decided to knock. That was a normal, colleague thing to do.

"Mr. Carriere?"

Addressing a colleague in the same way their students would was probably less normal.

"My name is Christine. I'm one of the new teachers this year, and I- I just wanted to properly introduce myself."

Silence stretched out before her, no sound of movement coming from the other side of the door.

She was starting to think that he might not even be in his room -- that she was talking to an empty room -- when the door swung open. And there he stood, just as tall and imposing as she remembered him.

I finally got motivated to write and wrote some Until Dawn fanfic after like 3 months of writing absolutely nothing

No it's not the Assassin fic like I should be working on, but a different idea where Matt and Jess find Josh in the mines before Sam and Mike do

200 Word May Writing Challenge

Day 1

I managed to actually write out 441 words this evening, mostly in editing through what I'd already written for my Arkiridion Aide au and adding lines here and there where needed, as well as a few lines of dialogue at the end to actually finish the scene I'd left off with when I last opened this document :3

May Writing Challenge

So I saw this writing challenge on Tumblr for the month of May. I wanted to keep up my writing schedule. I wrote a total of 26,479 words. Which is a whole 47 words more than I wrote in Camp NaNoWriMo. I'm pretty proud of myself and deserve a little pat on the back for my accomplishment.

The whole reason I did this challenge is because I usually expect way too much of myself. I used to think 1k words a day was a good goal but it's way too high for me. Usually, when I didn't meet my goal I would become disappointed in myself for not making it. So smaller goals mean more achievable goals. I think I'll try to continue this writing challenge in my daily schedule. Some words are better than none.

Didn’t realize how many days have passed since I lasted posted about the 200 word challenge! It’s been kinda hard keeping up with it. I don’t remember if I got anything done two of the days. Yesterday I had brain lock and literally sat for an hour only to type one sentence. Today was a lot better and wrote about 400+ words. There’s been moments I wanna just give up on the challenge and I’m trying to fight it!

Those word prompts are so good!! If you're taking prompts for the May challenge (no pressure!!): cantankerous or audacity

You feel as if you are being warmed from the inside out. Your chest is expanding to the point where it feels like your heart is trying to break apart your ribs, and your throat feels so tight that it almost hurts to swallow. You feel faint. The AC is on blast, and you feel so heated as if you're about to faint. There is no way that the effect of it - there is no way that your stomach is churning and your heart is hammering - isn't showing up on your face. 

From where he was seated, so close to you, he could see everything. If only he wasn't, as he claimed, 'blinder than a bat born in an abyss.' 

His cantankerous tone momentarily dragged you back to your senses, "I thought you said you knew how to put in contacts."

You manage not to flinch. But you can't quite contain the hitch in your breath at the feeling of the way his words tickle against your lips. 

Yes, momentarily. 

He was ... too close! Offering to help him replace his contacts had been a bad idea. Why had you thought this was a good idea? This was a terrible idea!

"Ms. Carita?"

May challenge #2

Holi boli. este extracto lo escribi el mismo dia que el #1. La verdad es que hoy me puse las pilas y me puse a escribir como loca jaja.

Este reto de mayo se me esta haciendo relativamente fácil. Estoy tratando de reducir mi uso de redes sociales así que cada que tengo el impulso de revisar alguna app me propongo escribir unas 200 palabras para evitar hacerlo. Me has servido uwu

Al principio no le parecía buena idea venir al bosque con las chicas, más cuando no estaba segura de dónde quedaba tal claro. Si bien tuvo sus dudas Sebastiana estaba feliz de haber ido. La sesión de fotos había ido de maravilla. Así que todo estaba bien con las chicas. La verdad es Sebastiana estaba contenta de tener todo el lugar para ellas solas. Si bien el parque del centro estaba bien siempre andaba tan lleno que no la dejaban concentrarse en casi nada. Sin contar a los niños que jugaban en la pelota. Cada que las golpeaban no se disculpaban, era lo mínimo que deberían hacer. Muchachos insolentes,  Eso y le gustaba la idea de venir a pasear a un lugar un tanto recóndito del bosque. Que suerte la suya el que la hallan sentado cerca de Nina. Sebastiana y sus amigas se habían peleado con el grupo de Nina al final del año escolar. Una gran tontería que las otras no estaban dispuestas a aceptar que estaban mal. No es que las hiciera malas personas, sino que hay gente que es incapaz de aceptar cuando están en lo incorrecto. 

Contador: 247/200 la verdad es que bastante bien

A Story A Day Challenge 2024 – A Leg Up

“Come on, Jake! The water’s great!” Alice splashed at her boyfriend as he remained on the dock fully dressed and a book in his hand. “Hey!” He shook the book to clear off any water before it ruined the pages. “Don’t do that, please. Haven’t you watched any of those shows? Don’t you know there are creatures in there that’ll eat you?” She laughed as she backstroked away from the dock. “Nothing…

200 Word Challenge

Day 16: Hot Vampire

Daily Total: 2462

“Oh! How rude of me, I’m so sorry. My name is Isaac Hand. I own this establishment.”

“You are, okay,” she said, and it made sense. Of course, the owner of the salon would be there. The little blossom of warmth in her chest grew anyway. “Okay, I didn’t realize.”

“You’re alright,” he said. “It’s my pleasure to assist you and help you to start donating.”

“It seems a little below the owner of multiple businesses to attend to a single donor, though,” she said, and his eyebrow raised. Those grey eyes were bright with mirth.

“Oh, so you looked me up first.”

“That’s not hard. I have public database access,” she replied, “and I like to know who I’m working with, but since you can’t be photographed, you don’t show up in the ID system.”

“You weren’t expecting me to be, well, me.”

“I wasn’t expecting you to be anyone.”

“You weren’t, huh? Not anyone at all?” He was teasing her, but it didn’t feel harsh or mean. In fact, it was warm. It was playful. “Well, I’m glad I could surprise you.”

Hoyoverse men who are not used to receiving affection, and get absolutely flustered when you do the tiniest things.

They are usually the ones who flatter- with the elegant words rolling off their silver tongues, it is hard not to be enamoured by someone like him. He is a quick thinker, coming up with the most witty and clever quips that puts up a challenge, even when you don't expect it. The way he says these things as well and how smoothly they flow don't help you resist him either. It's no fair that his charm is also paired with his good looks.

And for you, he is no different. In fact, he amps it up to 200% when it comes to you. How else will he praise your beauty and intelligence? He never fails to pay you compliments with such eloquent sayings that you'd never think of yourself. There's always something new with him as his sharp thinking allows him to come up with antics to tease you with. The best part to him is when you get flustered- cheeks getting warm, eyes clenching shut a little meek to his affection, your shy "thank you" you manage to utter... he loves it all.

So, one day when you do something- that's not even a grand gesture, he doesn't know what to do with himself. And it's more embarrassing for him when he knows you mean it genuinely, and though you weren't trying to fluster him, you did. You could be paying him a compliment back, except your tone is much more innocent than his playful one. In fact, you didn't even have to say anything, for you could just be showing him a new outfit you got and instantly- he's at a loss for words.

He covers his face: bringing up his hand, turning his head so his bangs shield him, a hat, or anything. Anything so you wouldn't see him blushing over such a small gesture. Though, sometimes you catch him anyway. No matter, he will compose himself and show you he thinks the same. He's willing to accept, because it's you after all.
