A WORD WAR IS COMING!!

[tryslora]

Have something due at the end of the month? Let's have a word war!

The war will run from SATURDAY OCTOBER 26th through TUESDAY OCTOBER 29th, based on your own time zone. Basically, I'll post the check-in before it's Friday in the Australian bits of the world, and you check in and start writing when your Friday begins. When your Monday is over, put your pencil down and you will be done!

That's FOUR FULL DAYS of fantastic words! The word fairies will be popping around to sprinkle you with dust and give your muses plenty of rest, food and drink so that they'll be inspiring you. Come join us all and write!

Spread the news; all fandoms and pairings are welcome. Whatever you need to write, we celebrate your words!

It's Wednesday!


Some of us are feeling tired and run-down. Some of us can't wait for the weekend to finally come. And some of us have already thrown our plot bunnies into the ether.

But never fear, Quick Quill Quotes is here!

Take up your Biros and Ballpoints! Brandish your sharpener and retrieve that dreaded red marker from its dusty corner! Flex those fingers!


The current week's theme is: Girl Power

This can be anything related to Girl Power Are Hermione's brains saving the day for the fifty millionth time? Or is Ginny being kick-arse duelling? Has McGonagall's sharp, biting wit reduced anyone idiotic to tears? Basically is there any female BAMFing going in?

We’ll love to read anything you give us!

So give us a snippet of a current piece you're working on, don't be shy! Whether there's only one word related to the theme or it's a devoted sonnet, we want to hear about it.

Don’t have anything related to this weeks theme? No problem. A new drabble within the word limit is an excellent contribution as well! Only got 50 words? So what? Every word counts!

Entering and Rules

The snippet or drabble must be 400 words or under. It should be a new drabble OR from a current work. It should also, however loosely, be related to this weeks theme.

To participate, simply leave your contribution as a comment below.

Posting will close Wednesday 30th October at 00.00 GMT

Don't be afraid to cheer on your fellow writers!

Good Luck!

Note: Even after posting closes feel free to let a well-deserving author know how much you loved their snippet! Comments on entries do not close!

And remember to warn for porn!

WRITE EVERY DAY: #11

[kitty_fic]

Day 11!

WRITE! WRITE! WRITE!




"It Boosts Your Creativity. After writing every day for a week or two, you will find your creativity beginning to flourish. Ideas will pop up from out of nowhere. Anything from a newspaper article to a picture will inspire you. Your creative self will feel more comfortable in being allowed to churn out any idea, no matter how small or obscure. Exercising your creative muscle will allow it to be stronger than ever before." - [source: here]



Daily check-ins are optional! Daily writing is not ^_~

Be sure to keep track of your own daily writing! Remember there will be awards for those that write every day! But also awards for those that write some days (depending on your level of success!)

If you can, please help spread the love and encouragement by taking a moment to cheer the person who commented above you on too! <3
