Have you noticed the air has turned crisp and the days are shorter? The smell of spices fills the air and sweaters are the norm? It’s fall, ya’ll! We have an autumnal list of words for you this October that will keep you warm and toasty as you enjoy the cooler weather.
Not sure if you’re up to writing a story? No problem! Use the prompts for journal writing or free writing. Actually, all that’s required is that you have fun and keep on writing!
The “official” guidelines & printables are at the end of the post.
Join us in October as we write a story, one scene at a time!

- Each day use the prompt word and write one to three sentences that include it. How you use the prompt in your scene is up to you!
- Post your newest scene to Instagram or to Facebook.
- Use the hashtag #writeastorychallenge.
- Tag us so we can cheer you on!
- Instagram – @chautona and @april_picayunepen
- Facebook – @chautona and @authorAprilHayman
- Your blog – just link back to this post so we can comment on your story!
By the end of the month, you’ll have a short story of about 1,000 to 1,500 words.
Wait! What if I don’t like that day’s prompt? No problem! Substitute it with one of the Bonus Words. But there’s a catch (isn’t there always): you can only substitute a daily prompt up to ten times without repeats.
Ready? Set. Write!
