Welcome to 31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes — a writing challenge in conjunction with The Nester’s annual 31 Days.
31 Days is a collaboration of bloggers the world over who decide to post on their own blogs every single day in the month of October.
All the info you need can be found at: write31days.com
31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes is a “challenge within the challenge,” so to speak — namely, to post on your blog every day in the month of October, but to write each post in only five minutes flat.
It’s like a month long Five Minute Friday party!
Those who are playing along will link up below starting on September 30th so we can visit their blogs throughout October.
Participants of 31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes have the option to:
~ use the prompts I’ve listed below;
~ choose their own theme entirely; or
~ try to fit the prompts below into a specific theme.
For example, I’m going to be writing each of my posts in five minutes, but all on the theme of 31 Days of Life in South Africa.
If you decide to choose your own topic, you may also create a button for your blog and link-up on the Write 31 Days website over here, starting October 1st.
Please note: If you don’t have a title or topic other than the generic 31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes, please rather don’t link up at the Write 31 Days site — if a bunch of people all link up with the same title or button, it will look like duplicate entries, and the links will likely get deleted.
Feel free to ask questions in the comments if this is confusing. 🙂
