September Writing Challenge 2024

If you’ve been hanging around here for a while, you might recall that I’ve done a September writing challenge for several years. In fact, this will be my 7th year, and for the first time ever… I’m not sure I’m up to it. My blogging habits have changed this year, and I don’t write like I used to. In fact a lot has changed this year (perhaps I’ll cover that if I ever hit Prompt #7).

I almost decided not to do the challenge this year, but then I thought, “I should at least try! Maybe I’ll find a part of me that’s gone missing!” So I’m going for it. 

Last year I noticed that I tend to use a lot of the same writing prompts from year to year, so this time I tried really hard to use all new ones. I have no idea at this point where I’m going with any of these, so heaven help me with creativity!

Here are this year’s prompts:
