October Writing Prompts

[iam_senpai]

Welcome to October, folks! It's Autumn and anyone who's been around the comm knows I am the BIGGEST Halloween fan so I am stoked this is my absolute favorite month of the year. We should celebrate. How? Prompts of course!

As always--

Disclaimer: I never close old writing prompts from previous months. People can and should be encouraged to post on old month's prompts and I highly encourage players to track these posts to catch stragglers or new people writing on old prompts.

Now. With that out of the way, onto this month's prompts.

October Writing Prompts

1. The path less traveled

2. "Please don't make me do this."

3. Write about your character getting Spooped. I don't mean horrible trauma inducing terror here, I mean cheap scare haunted house spoops. Maybe that's what it takes to get them to jump or maybe you've got a badass character who doesn't spoop easy. Okay fine, but what if they have to gasp talk to women? SOMETHING must throw them offguard! Tell us about it.

4. A tiny blessing

5. Your character has so much to get done and a serious time crunch. How do they handle it?

Bonus Audio Prompt

Listen to those leaves crunch!
