Many moons ago there was a writing group called: The Literal Challenge, and they would host writing challenges throughout the year. My favourite one was, Like The Prose. During the month of June a prompt would magickally arrive in my inbox and there would be an amazing prompt for me to read. I would then have 36 hours to write a brand new story and submit it through a magickal portal. Well… that challenge sadly came to an end in…
I had high hopes for 2023 and mapped out writing challenges that I wanted to participate in. January was the NYC Midnight short story challenge, which I signed up/paid for, waited until the day before the due date, fell asleep before finishing the story and then submitted it at 11:59 PM. I went to sleep relieved and woke up in a panic. Did I actually hit submit or was it all a dream? After feverishly checking every tab in Gmail…
I missed posting yesterday and I meant to do it this morning however time just got away from me. Today’s Scriptly Writing prompt was to write a script for a Tik Toc video. I don’t Tik Toc so I created a script for Scream Camp scene. A scene that would be shown in black and white film reel style. Silent film. Suspense. I titled it Fade to Black. I hope it’s enjoyable and would love a like and any feedback…

I followed it for the most part. There were bunks in the cabin, so technically they were in the bedroom, but never laid on the beds. This script would technically come before Kitchen Talk which was yesterday’s latest installment, so if you read it you will know who Ellie…
Today is day one of Scriptly Writing. This is the second year that The Literal Challenge has put this on and it’s quite fun. Fourteen days to write fourteen scripts. This year I’ve decided to share mine and even if no one reads them it’s keeping myself accountable. The first prompt is to place your characters in a kitchen. Any kitchen will work. I’ve decided to utilize these prompts to create scenes for my full feature length titled, Scream Camp….
The Literal Challenge’s Scriptly Writing begins today! What is Scriptly Writing you ask? It’s 14 fun filled days of writing 14 fun filled short screenplays. Does it sound fun, crazy or both? Definitely both! I am also participating in The Literal Challenge’s A Dozen Daring Dramas, which is writing 12 full length scripts for each month in 2021. Crazy fun! So this means I will be writing 14 short screenplays and a full length screenplay this month. Why? Why in…
Tomorrow is October 1st, 2019. Tomorrow is day one of the 31 day #RealityWrites challenge. Each day a non-fiction prompt will be given and we the participants have 36 hours to post a complete and original submission. This challenge is exciting for me and I cannot wait to dive in. Most of us are creating daily works of non-fiction from email responses, Facebook posts, to Instagram photos and more. With each post we have a story to tell about ourselves….
