So, in order to help you gauge just how much can happen in 1667 words, start writing. It doesn’t matter what it’s about— your life, your characters, anything. Doing this in October, before commitment time, will help you get an idea for the time involved in meeting your daily goal.
To get started, try writing about anything that interests you. You can try for a short story, a chapter, or just free-writing. If you're stumped for ideas to get started, try one (or more) of these:
- Everyone else was laughing.
- On the other side of that door
- Late again
- What I've always wanted
- A sound I'd never heard before
- What if . . .
- The last time I saw him
- At that moment I should have left.
- Just a brief encounter
- I knew how it felt to be an outsider.
- Hidden away in the back of a drawer
- What I should have said
- Waking up in a strange room
- There were signs of trouble.
- Keeping a secret
- All I have left is this photo.
- It wasn't really stealing.
- A place I pass by every day
- Nobody can explain what happened next.
- Staring at my reflection
- I should have lied.
- Then the lights went out.
- Some might say it's a weakness.
- Not again!
- Where I'd go to hide out from everyone
- But that's not my real name.
- Her side of the story
- Nobody believed us.
- It was time to change schools again.
- We climbed to the top.
- The one thing I'll never forget
- Follow these rules and we'll get along fine.
- It may not be worth anything.
- Never again
- On the other side of the street
- My father used to tell me
- When nobody was looking
- If I could do it over again
- Of course it was illegal.
- It wasn't my idea.
- Everyone was staring at me.
- It was a stupid thing to say.
- Hiding under my bed
- If I tell you the truth
- My secret collection
- Footsteps in the dark
- The first cut is the deepest.
- Trouble, big trouble
- Laughing uncontrollably
- It was just a game to them.
