Hey writer friends! There's a fun, all-fandom, writing/art event taking place for fall. Cozytober! This is their second year and since they don't have a tumblr page, I thought I'd share the prompts!

For anyone participating in any of the other big fall events (@sicktember @whumptober @flufftober ) these prompts actually meld really well with those.

For more information about Cozytober rules, as well as a text version of the prompts, check out their AO3 Collection page [Here]

Happy writing!!

Oddly Specific Romance Prompts Vol. 1: Under Protection

"You're in danger. Please let me protect you."

"I'll be there at 9:20. Out front, in my car. Do not leave the building until then, understand?"

"If anything else happens, you call me immediately, okay?"

"You're under my protection, and that includes sustenance. What do you want to eat?"

"If anything ever happened to you, I don't know what I'd do. But it sure as hell wouldn't be anything good."

"I don't know what to do." "It's okay. I've got you, and you're safe."

"Would you feel safer if you slept with me tonight?"

"I'm going to get you out of here, but you need to hang onto me."

"Why are you so dead set on protecting me?" "I don't know. It's my job, it's what I was born to do, I might be slightly in love with you." "But--wait, what?"

"I'm not really used to this 'protection' thing." "Well, you better work on that. I'm not going anywhere any time soon."

"Am I allowed to be in love with the person protecting me?" "It's not standard, but it's definitely welcome."

"Stay here." "But--" "I don't want to hear it. You scared the shit out of me last time, and I'm not letting you do it again."

"You can't protect me from everything, [NAME]. This world is fucked." "You're right. But I sure as hell am going to try."

"Why are you here?" "You needed help. So I'm here to help you."

All Fanfic Writers are invited! Especially those in a creative rut!

Comfort Fic Writing Challenge: A Triple Prompt Roulette!

Ready to write?

You can pick ANY fandom, character, ship, or length! The end goal is to create a lovely comfort, hurt/comfort, or angst/hurt/comfort fic for your readers to enjoy in the cozy season when we all especially crave that genre!

The challenge is to spin one, two, or all three of the roulette wheels below and to write a fic based on the prompt combos you land on.

This is a game meant to be fun and to tickle your muses; there are no deadlines, rules, or requirements! (And no prizes--sorry, lol!) Spin as many times as you like, until you land on something that inspires you!

Looking for pure comfort and fluff?

Start with Wheel #1! - Comfort Fic Elements

Want to upgrade to Hurt/Comfort?

Add Wheel #2! - Hurt Fic Elements

Shall we crank up the feels?

Throw in Wheel #3! - Angsty Phrases

Special Bonus Wheel for the Tolkien Fandom: Need help narrowing down your choices of characters? Tolkien Race

Suggestion: Get some follower/reader participation! Share your roulette results and start a poll seeking input on the fandom, character, or ship you should write about!

Happy Writing! Long live the Comfort Fic! <3

Please reblog to share the fun!

I need the motivation, and i honestly don't think anyone is going to see this, so for every note, i will write 500 words of VH wip.

in fact, If i get enough notes, i will share one line of what I've written for every 1000 words i write.

Hello everyone! As October approaches, I've been hearing a lot about the very popular Whumptober. However, since I'm not much of a whump writer, I decided to go ahead and make my own Flufftober challenge!

For those who don't already know, this challenge involves following a prompt for each day in October. I am writing blog, so I'll be writing, but feel free to follow these prompts in the medium of your choice! Also, you can participate as much or as little as you like. Technically, the challenge is for the entire month, but if there's a day you're not vibing with the prompt or you just don't have time, don't stress. This is purely for fun.

If you're not one for pure fluff, flangst (fluff/angst) is also perfectly acceptable.

Let me know if you have any questions! I hope you enjoy!

P.S. I'd love to see what you all come up with! So if you so choose to share, tag me in your posts or use the tag #flufftober2024 (however others creators have also made their own flufftobrs, so things will get mixed up a bit)

hello hello! this november bianca (@beeanca-writing ) and I our hosting our very own writing and productivity challenge!

this is an indie (and slightly more lax) alternative to NaNoWriMo, where the focus is routine, accountability and above all else progress!

the rules for this challenge are simple:

prior to friday, november 1st 2024 choose a writing goal. this can be a total word count, daily word count, a page count, a certain number of chapters or an amount of time spent writing. remember to choose something attainable for you in thirty days. make a post on tumblr, discord, substack, twitter...(somewhere) presenting yourself (basically who you are as a writer!) your goal and discussing your writing projects or plans using the tag #novemberwripro!

plan and establish a routine. productivity isn't so much about time management, a packed schedule or any sort of fancy tools. productivity is about consistency. by establishing a writing routine for yourself you'll put yourself into a familiar enough rhythm that not only will you be able to write when you don't necessarily want to--you're setting yourself up to produce the best work you can possible put forth.

use your routine to help you work on your writing goal daily throughout the month of november. the goal of any writing challenge is to show some sort of progress on your current projects after all.

document your progress in some way. whether this be through a month long journal, a vlog on youtube or tiktok or even just posts in the discord server or on tumblr--it's important to reflect on all the work you've done and help build a community of accountability!

all are welcome to join--whether that be novelists, non-fiction writers, interactive fiction developers, fic writers, essayists, poets, screen-writers, academics or those simply looking to do more writing!

We can't wait to see all the stories you'll tell this year!

“New book”

[thatuselesshuman]

For motivation's sake...

Imma do one of those posts like "for every # of notes I'll do ____" but for writing

10 notes — 100 words in my WIP

25 notes — a new chapter posted in Bloody Hands Are Kind

50 notes — 2000 words in a work of my choosing

100 notes — 4000 words in a work of my choosing

150 notes — 2 back to back chapters of Bloody Hands are Kind (back to back: 2 chapters in 2 days)

200 notes — finish first chapter of my WIP

If this gets anymore notes (it probably won't) I'll reblog with higher "rewards"

Spam allowed if you have the time, comments reblogs and likes all count

All "reward" things will be posted under the tag "writer note challenge" for proof

I started focusing on developing a daily writing practice a year and a month ago. Using one of those October writing challenges as a catalyst, I tried (and failed) to write everyday of October 2023.

But the longer I tried to write daily, the easier it became. I started figuring out where in my life there was room for writing time without sacrificing friends/chores/hobbies.

Here I am a year later and I wrote everyday this October. I wrote when I was traveling and when I was sleep deprived and when I was that paralytic kind of sad.

I used to think my creative thought process was like a well. Something that would run out if I overdrew it. (I still think some people probably are wells)

But my creativity turned out to be a muscle. The more I use it, the stronger it gets.

Writeblr: "NoNoWriMo are sell outs. Let's cancel them!"

Me, who is brand new to writing, thinking it was just an activity people chose to do, much like making a New Year's Resolution: "It's an organization...? With like money and stuff???"
