writecamp - day 1, june 1st - the kickoff!

welcome to the start of summer campers! this post marks the kickoff of a two month long writing game i absolutely cannot wait to take part in alongside you all!

now, you may be wondering, what are the rules? for those of you that took part in or were familiar with writemas, it's the same thing, but for those of you that are new or just joining the game that's brilliant! I can't wait to spend the summer writing alongside you! the rules are as follows: choose a prompt (or as many of them as you like) from the list, write something and share your creation with the rest of writeblr, and share the game with others, because as we all know writing is a gift and it deserves to be shared! and of course, tag me in your responses because i cannot wait to see them!

and for those of you that don't know or need a reminder how writecamp's going to work, i've got a list of some pointers below:

each day of summer, starting June 1st, i will post the writecamp daily challenge - containing all sorts or prompts to stir the imagination pot

the game is open to all, and if you join late, no problem! just embrace the writery spirit of summer and play along! (you don't have to complete every day's challenge, but whatever you do, always be proud of yourself! because i for one am so proud of all of you)

bonus part (completely optional, but lovely if you choose to do it) - alongside your challenge entries, make sure to find a blog on writeblr, a writer you admire or one you've only just found, and pay them a compliment! (something so small but so, so important <3)

now, that marks the end of all the organisational admin stuff - (ironically im not as organised as i intended to be, i thought i had an extra day to get everything sorted ((whoops!)) so this first post is coming out a few hours later than intended but i promise every other post will be coming out on time, which will be 9am GMT but of course there's no time limit for your entries, pick and choose and play along as you please!)

moving onto the part you (and i) have all been waiting for - the first day of writecamp! (see under the cut!)

The Prompt List

Dialogue Prompts:

"You shouldn't have run from me."

"Take it back. Take it all back."

"You're... Smiling, and I can't quite understand why."

"Let your fears go. they can't control you, only you can control yourself."

"Dawn is on its way. The least we can do is live long enough to meet it."

Setting Prompts:

A mossy castle

A sunbathed meadow

A ring of fire

A crumbling dungeon

A walk at twilight

Narration Prompts:

The wind was neither her friend nor her foe. The wind was a part of her, it lifted her limbs, rendered them wings, and in defiance of her fate she took flight from the precipice of the cliff.

He would not utter a sound to please the whims of his enemies, his silence was the only weapon he could render against the army waiting, watching, willing him to beg for mercy. He would not give. He would entrust his life to silence.

Was there something so wrong with love? What crime against life itself did the heart commit in falling so completely, so impossibly for somebody else? And what punishment must be made in its stead?

Her hope was her saving, as it always had been, but as the danger loomed at her back, as its cruel, unrelenting shadow passed over her shoulder, she abandoned all hope, replaced her clasped hands with the blade sitting in her lap, and turned to meet it.

He had never been a man to cower before someone deemed his better, but for someone he deemed worse, someone he deemed worthy, he dropped to one knee.

Feeling Prompts:

The creaks of a broken body

The warmth of a summer wind

The sting of frozen water

The weariness of time

The gentle sigh of truth

happy kickoff day campers and i can't wait to see what you all come up with!

~ ~ ~ now for the tags! for writecamp, because i have a feeling there's going to be so many of you, i'm going to do tags a little bit differently and instead tag all you lovely campers in the comments! (to hopefully get around any tag limits/difficulties because we all know there's going to be problems, it's inevitable and i'm going to do my best to avoid any issues in that area)

but of course, if you would like to be tagged in future daily challenges for writecamp, all you've got to do is interact with this post - it'll be monitored throughout the entirety of the challenge to ensure nobody who wants to be tagged misses out!

AAAAA.

Hi guys, I’m back on here for the summer, and hopefully for the fall too.

What have I been up to?

Other than school, I’ve simply been trying to survive

I decided a few weeks ago to work on my OG novel, The Villain Who Could

I’m currently working on a short story that I’ll hopefully get done with in time to submit for a contest.

Overall, some goals I want to accomplish this summer is just getting more into writing and maybe finishing a draft or getting pretty close to the end of my book

[thatonedreamer]

As I look back at my tumblr and realize how much things have changed (specifically regarding what I write now), I'm wondering if I should make an updated intro about myself and what I am writing.

What do y'all think?

[thatonedreamer]

Sorry yall that’s on me for not clarifying (I don’t normally do polls) I meant daily words/weekly words bc I suck at consistency myself, which I know 2k+ might sound super big but I was just honestly trying to see if people do tend to write like that! I’m more of a 100-500 person myself though

pls reblog too! I'd love to be able to reach those I may not be mutuals with!

[thatonedreamer]

If you're reading this...

go write three sentences on your current writing project.

Old Scars

Thanks @thatonedreamer for tagging me!

Here’s an excerpt from the most recent chapter of my WIP multiverse novel:

His gaze dragged down her arm, toward the hand closest to his on the railing. Even in the dim light, he could see a faint scar on her index finger. “How did you get that one?”

“Scuff with a wolf.”

A jagged line ran along her forearm. “And that one?”

“Undercover work in Peru.”

He continued to search her skin for marks, letting her lie. “And that?”

“Motorcycle incident.”

“Bear cub.”

“Stunt work for an action movie.”

“Samurai training.”

Leo reached out and brushed aside the strands of hair that covered the scar on her brow. Clara stilled.

“And this one?”

“An anomaly.”

She was too stubborn to look away, but her smile faded as her green eyes twisted into blue, then gray, then green again.

“It isn’t often,” she said slowly, “that I’m wrong about someone.

Leo lowered his hand.

“Am I wrong about you?”

Heads Up, Seven Up

Thank you @aalinaaaaaa for tagging me!!

I've been working on the first chapter for the new novel wip of mine so I'll be sharing that!

“Hey kiddo,” he went to her and patted her head. “How’s things coming along?” He hadn’t even realized he scared her. She wasn’t expecting him for two reasons, reason one being that he had gone on a trip and he never tells them how long those trips are. Reason two was because no one in the household enjoyed cleaning, and once someone was picked to do it, the rest of the family would avoid them for the time being. She knew this meant that he had something important to tell her, she did her best to not think back about whatever else she could get in trouble for. What else could they know? Not Hawk, please, not him. 

Her father brought her attention back to him when he snapped his fingers in her face, “ay, girl. Stop drifting away from me, I want to have the whole “future” talk with you.” She looked confused and knew she didn’t hide it well when he sighed exasperatedly.  

“Your mother and I think you should stay with us, we know you want to do your own thing but you’re not ready-”

I'll be tagging: @indigoreed1 @hexi-aoibhinn @ashen-crest @ettawritesnstudies @writersfantasy3 and whoever sees this and wants to do it!
