Whether you want to write sporadically, a little each day, or pursue your magnus opus, I invite you to join me in the Shortest Month Writing Challenge 2021. During February I will provide a writing prompt every day to help you achieve whatever your writing aim.

 

The prompts can be used to write a piece of flash fiction or poem each day, resulting in 29 flash stories or poems by the end of the month. By the very laws of writing, these can’t all be bad, indeed some will be good and some excellent! Or you could write a sentence. Or string together two or three at a time to come up with a story or poem. Or dip in and out as and when you feel the need for inspiration. And if you are working on a longer piece, the prompts can be used as an anchor for your next chapter or scene. The choice is yours – the more inventive, the more exciting.

 

I will list the daily prompts here and post them on the Creativity, Inspiration & Muses Facebook group (please ask to join if you’d like to be a member). Feel free to comment on your progress and highs (and lows!) on the Facebook group.

 

I leave you with the quote I always return to with my writing:

 

“Write a little every day, without hope, without despair.” Isak Dinesen/Karen Blixen

 

Good luck and, most importantly, enjoy!

Shortest Month Writing Challenge. Whether you wrote every day, sporadically, or just thought creative thoughts about the prompts during February, you are to congratulate yourself. The prompts will remain on my website for the foreseeable, so if you started late, keep going! I have heard from so many of you - a piece a day, one long piece, incorporating the prompts into a novel - from around the country and the world. However you approached the challenge,  congratulations and respect.
