WtbR Monthly Story Challenge: August

July’s challenge did not recieve any entries, so I’m thinking maybe last month’s challenge was too specific. I decided to use a more general prompt, like the one from June, in hopes of getting at least a few submissions.

There is nothing to vote on this month, but I’d like to hear from you if you think this idea could be fun and would like to participate at some point in the future. I need to know if there is enough interest to continue this blog series.

This Month’s Prompt

Monsters of Legend

Your story must contain a legendary monster. So, pull out your shapeshifters, blood suckers, walking dead, gargoyles, goblins and ghoulies, wraiths, dragons and trolls. It can be dark. It can be funny. It can be a monster romance. Whatever the genre, there must be a monster of legend at the heart of it.

The Rules

Remember, your story can be any genre, so you can get creative. Publish the results on your blog and send the link to me by the last day of the month. Be sure to label them with #WtbRStoryChallenge. Or, if you don’t have a blog, you can send the results directly to me at kayebooth@yahoo.com, and I will publish them or the links back to your blog the following month along with the writing prompt for the next month.

Stick to the rules and after 30 minutes of writing stop. I’ll be writing right along with you. I know the prompt ahead of time, but I won’t begin writing until it has posted. Be sure to have your entry to me by the last day of the month, so I can share them all for readers to vote on.

Another good thing about this not being a live event is you will have the opportunity to edit for grammar, spelling, and punctuation before submitting, and I do want it to be the best you’ve got, of course.
