A short story a day is a fun way to level up your storywriting skills! This October, join us in writing 31 stories in 31 days. Share your stories here and on social media (use #PlotoberChallenge) to double the fun and see what everyone is creating!

Rules

Ready to start your Plotober journey? The rules are simple:

  • Grab a notebook and pen or your favorite writing program. (Coffee is optional.)
  • Write one story, poem, or flash fiction every day during October. (Use our official prompts or follow your own muse – whatever lights you up.)
  • Share it on your website or social media with the hashtag #PlotoberChallenge. (Alternatively, share it with your cat. That’s cool too!)
