The Half-Assed Holiday Writing Challenge 2020

The holiday season has arrived once again, and sure, that can be all-consuming. And yeah, it’s 2020, which has been a shit show of epic proportions.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t spend a little time writing.

And by a little, I mean a very little.

Because we can’t do all the things all the time, but we CAN do some of the things some of the time. Which brings us to . . .

The Second Annual(ish) Half-Assed Holiday Writing Challenge!

Yes, you read that right. This challenge is one part writing, one part community, and two (or more) (perhaps many more) (oh god is it January yet?!) parts vodka-spiked eggnog and matzah crackers for breakfast.

What it’s all about:

Writing. We love it. We need it. We don’t always have time for it. Especially during the winter holidays.

But the Half-Assed Holiday Writing Challenge? We can manage that (probably) (maybe) (more vodka-spiked eggnog, please).

Here’s how it works: I’ve provided twenty six intriguing prompts to spark your poetry/fiction/journaling/pick-your-favorite-writing-flavor.

You pick ten of those.

Yep. Just ten.

And you write on those, one at a time, over the course of December, as you are able.

Because we can’t do all the things all the time, but we can do some of the things some of the time, and maybe some of those things can involve a smidge of writing.

Are you in? Let’s do this thing:

1. First, enter your email for some friendly reminders and only slightly sarcastic encouragement:

2. Then post this graphic with the hashtag #sheofthewildwrites on your favorite social media platform:

3. Write! Share (don’t forget the #sheofthewildwrites hashtag so you can connect with fellow Half-Assed Holiday Challengers)! Don’t write, guilt-free! Have fun! Take naps!

4. And! If you want some more fun and support, come join our free She of the Wild creativity circle on ye olde Facebookes. We have a great introverted time not talking to each other very much.

We start today!

Best of luck, and don’t forget to go easy on yourself. Embrace the half-assery!

awaken. revel in the heat of your own flames. feel the drum beat throbbing in your gut, the searing nearness of the sacred fires, the slap of your bared soles against earth as you dance in the ash and embers of your own waking.

you were made for the light, for spirit and sinew, for the uncertain dark, for hands holding hands holding hands.

the song begins. you are not alone.

Read the poems.
