📸✨ "A picture is worth a thousand words!" they said, and then launched a contest where you can earn $1 per word for your incoherent rambling. 📝💸 The real winner is Medium Rare, who cleverly monetizes your desperation to be noticed by dangling $1,000 like a carrot. 🥕📚 Enjoy writing those 1,000 words about a cat photo, aspiring Hemingways! 😹✍️

Here is a thought for a #WritingChallenge :
The Fanthorpe Weekender. (Lionel Fanthorpe infamously wrote a novel in a weekend.) For those that think NaNoWriMo and similar are too wussy. Or too much effort.

Start and complete a novella (17,500-40,000 words) in 72 hours.

The Rules:
1/ With the exception of Speech to Text tools, no AI.
2/ You must start and finish within the 72 hours.
3/ Show your work. WIP is encouraged, but at the end of the 72 hours you must post your completed work. Whatever else, you must have it finished at the end of the clock.

Bonus points if you can get it published.
Double bonus points for getting it published unedited.

Note: The exception for Speech to Text tools is for two reasons. First, accessibility. Simply not being physically able to type should not be a barrier. Second, The Patron Saint was noted for wandering around the house with a dictaphone, and handing off the tapes to various family members for transcription.

What do people think?

And what is an appropriate date for it?

BTW: You can also replay last NovNov's events here:
https://community.prowritingaid.com/c/novnov-event-replays/

They have a bunch of other things in there community pages. Some things (like NovNov) available to non-subscribers..

#Writing #NaNoWriMo #lgbtqia #NovNov #ProWritingAid #WriitingWithPride #Pride #Authoers #WritingChallenge #June #Events

It looks like last yea's ProWritingAid NovNov was a success (they have confirmed 2026), with 68,000 participants.

So much so, that ProWritingAid has set up June for Writing With Pride! :techlgbt: :heart_pride: 🏳️‍🌈

Starting June 1, you’ll complete short, focused writing exercises designed to strengthen your craft. Each week centers on a different theme (Becoming, Chosen Family, Intersectionality, and Softness & Joy) giving you new ways to explore character, conflict, and connection on the page.

By the end of this challenge, you will have written 28 short scenes and exercises that deepen your ability to craft character, relationships, and emotional resonance in your work.

I'm going to at least dip in for the speaker events.
