October challenges

I've got two writing challenges for you for next month, thanks to a Twitter pal. (If it was you who tweeted these then let me know and I'll credit you. I relied on my memory which was clearly a silly thing to do.)

The 750 words one month challenge
You have to write 750 words  a day (not a month) for a whole month. If it was 750 words a month I might manage it. (link)

100 words
Write exactly 100 words a day for a month. (link)

I'm not sure which would be harder: writing an exact number of words would be challenging. Anyway, if you accept either of those missions, it should keep you busy till Halloween!

Get your creativity flowing!

I've just discovered  two wonderful sites for overcoming writer's block.

Leah Peterson has a weekly 5MinuteFiction challenge, where you have five minutes to write to a prompt. (You get fifteen really but that's to allow for slippage.) It's every Tuesday at 1:30pm EST - that's currrently 6.30pm BST for those of us in the UK. Today's challenge is here.

And through Leah I also found Creative Copy Challenge, where on Mondays and Thursdays they post ten random words for you to make into a short story.

I've tried the Creative Copy Challenge but the time limit on 5MinuteFiction has me stymied at the moment. Can you manage it?
