Vignettober

As some of you might know, a while ago I found myself in a friend group with several artists in it. Unsurprisingly, one of them followed the famous Inktober challenge every year.

I'd known about Inktober for some time up until that point, but as someone who wasn't (and still isn't) an illustrative artist, I never had any reason to participate in it until I was surrounded by people who were consistently giving themselves a challenge to improve. It was at this point when I decided that, even if I don't care for drawing, I can still exercise my writing skills by participating in my own challenge. And if every other artist is doing Inktober, well, why not do it myself?

The rules for Vignettober are very simple:

1. Write a one-page vignette. The length is entirely dependent on how big your page is if you're writing in a notebook, or how big your font is if you're writing on a computer. As long as your vignette goes from the first line of the page down to the last, you've met the one-page requirement.
2. Follow the one-word prompt however you'd like. It can be entirely about the subject at hand, or it can have a completely tangential relation.
3. Don't feel pressured to write anything good, or even to revise your work. If you wrote shit, you wrote shit. If you want to improve it, improve it.
4. Have fun!
