Worderlands

Worderlands will be holding its next week-long challenge starting on 22 June - and this time, things will be a little different.

Instead of aiming for a word goal or working on a specific project, the challenge will be to write a 3-sentence story every day based on a provided prompt.

This will hopefully be a good way to spark some inspiration, get everyone focussing on the construction of every sentence, the way words work together, the impact that you can have using only a few words. So, when you go back to writing your other project/s, hopefully it will be with a refreshed perspective and renewed creativity to draw from.

Of course, if you like what the stories you write bring out, you'll be welcome (and very much encouraged) to continue the stories in a longer form - or add them into another WIP if they fit.

Look out for the first prompt on 22 June! :)

Thanks to everyone who participated in our first 700 to 7k challenge! I hope you got something great out of it, whether you wrote more words or just enjoyed the posts and questions. :)

♦ How did you go with everything?

♦ Do you have any feedback on the challenge?

♦ What did you think of the daily posts - the questions and tasks? Too much, too little, just right?

I'd love to know what you think. Like with the feedback from the November 2024 challenge, feedback may be incorporated into future challenges.

On that note, I'm already thinking about what might be next for Worderlands...

Don't worry - there's no event to rush to get ready for just yet. But there might be another 700 to 7k (or some similar variation) in a few months. I'm also playing with a few other ideas, but I'll leave that for another post another time.

Happy writing!

I'm having a few issues with my current living situation and might not be able to post for a few days/weeks while sorting this out. Specifics are a little unclear right now.

Is anyone up for taking on the check-in posts just til the end of November (optional after that)?

Requirements:

For each post, there's a !check-in tag, and a naming convention to follow for subject lines. The rest is very casual, as you can probably see. I try to include a question for people to answer, or a prompt to check in. And that's about all you'd need to do.

This could shift towards a co-mod kind of situation at a later point.

Thanks. :)
