October writing challenge
The first part of this challenge is to capture 13 words. Some ideas:
- Collect 13 words from storefronts or billboards you pass in your car or ads that pop up on your computer screen
- Pull a book off your shelf that you haven’t touched in years and randomly pick out 13 words from page numbers that include the numbers 1 and 3
- Give yourself 13 hours and pick a word once an hour that gives you a little tingle or chill
- Consult your favorite little ghoul(s) and have them suggest words
When you have your 13 words, write a spooky story, horrific poem, eerie essay, or other piece of your choosing. Bring a copy to pass around at the meeting and scare our socks off!
