I did my first NYC Midnight Challenge earlier this year!
If you’re not familiar with the challenge, NYC Midnight has a bunch of writing challenges a year (from flash fiction, short stories, screenplays, etc.). In the challenge, you are randomly assigned a Genre, a Subject, and a Character. For the first round, you are competing against people with the same Genre, Subject, and Character as you. With only a week and a set word count, you must, construct your best work for critique. 3 judges will provide you with very detailed feedback that I absolutely found helpful! If you make the top 3 in your group, you advance on to the next round where you will be randomly assigned another set of criteria and a group to compete against. There are 3 rounds to determine the final winners and honorable mentions. Though I did not advance on to round 2, I loved the experience of being pushed out of my comfort zone with Characters, Genres, and Subjects I never would have put together. This is why I present to you: the Rotae Fortunae (everything sounds official in Latin!):
Don't cheat! Push yourself to create outside of your comfort zone and have fun with it.
I know you can probably do this with ChatGPT now... but I've got a wheel -wink- Feel free to share your results in the comments below, and if you’re bold, the first few sentences of your creation! Resources:
