Spooktober 2021 in Events & Competitions | World Anvil

Spooktober 2021

This year, Spooktober has been tripled! Nnie is also making her unofficial Spooktober as her second unofficial challenge, as well as Moonflower with Gobtober (Both will have links at the bottom of the article). The official Spooktober has 30 word prompts, which I must write an article based on the word, or draw an image, write poetry or prose among others. Nnie and Moonflower's challenges however are specifically articles, with 30/31 prompts too, and some guidance prompts to help inspire us.  

Goal

My goal is to simply complete all 95 of the prompts. I will aim for 3 a day, however won't be surprised if I exceed that, especially on weekends. And with an extra few days before October even started, I have a bigger headstart. I may combine a few, because 95 could be a stretch, even for me, but I will give it my best go.
