Prompt: Write About a Scare

Published: Sat, 10/17/20

Hi WriteByNighters,

With Halloween coming on, many of us are in the mood for some scares!

This week on the blog, I want to hear about your scariest moments. Do you have any near-death experiences or medical close calls you want to share with us?

Or the scariest thing about the current political/environmental/viral climate?

Or if you want to keep it lighter, tell us about the scariest thing you've ever read or the scariest movie you've seen.

For this week's post, let's all take a deep breath and "Write About a Scare."

Mine are pretty vanilla -- a close call at birth; a car wreck; a barking dog -- but I share 'em anyway, if you're curious.

But that means it's your turn. We've been having some excellent and intense discussions lately: "Write About a Scar"; "Write About a Scent"; "Write About Your First Job." I want this discussion to scare those three out of the water.

Visit this week's post to write about your scariest moments now!

Sincerely,

Jusitne & David Duhr, WriteByNight co-founders
