One Hundred Words of Horror 2010!
It's October, and in three weeks it'll be a very special day. And I'm not just talking about Halloween! That's right, that means it's time once again for...
One Hundred Words of Horror.
In the spirit of upcoming Halloween, and as sort of a last minute whet-the-appetite for Nano, I present "One Hundred Words of Horror for Halloween". Nano's about writing big, this is about writing small.
The rules:
1. Write short horror stories, and post them on Halloween.
2. Each story must be exactly 100 words. No more, no less (you can choose to count arguable symbols important to the story either as words or not as you wish). The story's title is not included in the count.
3. The stories must be in some way horror-related. This doesn't necessarily mean they have to be scary - you can deal with horror themes in a humorous way - but it's Halloween, so these should be in a Halloween spirit.
4. Post as many stories as you like.
It's a tradition. By which I mean something I've done for the last couple years and only a couple others have decide to try too, but I don't care, I'm doing it again, or, at least, trying. My enthusiasm and energy for writing have been very low for the last couple months. It's possible I won't be able to complete any. But I'll try anyway.
(Actually, it is a special day today due to numerical coincidences, it's 10-10-10. Tomorrow is also another special day, Thanksgiving (if you think Thanksgiving is in November, I'm afraid you're incorrect).
