March 2024 The Great Substack Prompt Celebration

Your Inspiration Invitation

Welcome back to The Great Substack Prompt Celebration! Heather Huffman, Nicole Rivera and the Fictionistas crew are back for writing inspiration through a writing prompt, community connection through a live Zoom call and thread, and an opportunity to get your fiction Substack pages read by even more readers!

Each month we

• share a writing prompt,

• have a live Zoom call where we write together (we call this our Writing Prompt Party!), and then

• we wrap up the month by asking all participants to share their stories for everyone to read.

This month we will be following the same model as last month where we will be encouraging everyone to read and share the stories shared at the end of the month.

Let’s Talk First Draft Superpowers

One of the great parts of Writing Prompt Parties is finding out everyone’s first draft superpower. Some writers come out the gate with incredible world building, others have seemingly fully realized character, others have nailed their voice and the voice of the characters in their story. A first draft superpower is the thing that comes out strong as soon as you start writing, its the one thing (maybe multiple things) you don’t have to spend a load of time in revision working on. This week’s question is

Do you know what your first draft superpower is? If so, what is it?

If you haven’t identified it yet, you may want to get to our next Writing Prompt Party so we can hear your first draft fiction and let you know what we hear!

You officially have one week to warm up before this month’s fun begins. Remember, Fictionistas who join the Writing Prompt Party will be the first to get this month’s prompt and the first to get some real-time reactions to their first drafts!

Your Official Invitation to Party

The March Writing Prompt Party will be on March 14, 2024 (PI DAY!!!!) at 6PM Eastern. We would love to see you there (but keep in mind, if you can’t make it, we will be posting the prompt to Fictionistas after the meeting)!
