🍁🍂10 Creepy Autumn Writing Prompts 2021🍂🍁

🍁1. The flower dripped red as she pulled it closer to her lips. The air was crisp and she noticed it in the mist.

🍂2. “...hold your breath.” they whispered. The echoes from its steps crept through the leaves. 

🍁3. The pumpkin grew bright as it slithered closer to the children.

🍂4. The room was frozen as she let it in once again.

🍁5. Her teeth fell one by one into the fallen leaves. It was happening again and there was nothing she could do.

🍂6. The cat’s eyes grew as it saw it hovering over their owner.

🍁7. Silence surrounded him as he realized he was the secret ingredient for her special cider.

🍂8. Its screams engulfed her head as she realized it was right behind her. 

🍁9. The house wasn’t hunted after all. Only the being that crept within the halls.

Impromptu day of writing!

Every month I try and have one day dedicated solely to writing creatively. I might work entirely on one project that day or lots of different things. I was planning on having my day of writing for this month next Friday but I’ve been hit by a bout of inspiration today so I’m having my day of writing today! 

Feel free to join me, let me know if you’re writing too - share with me all your pain and worries or excitement and inspiration! Let’s just talk about writing! I’ll keep checking in here once every hour or so and updating with my current word count for the day. My aim for today is to hit 5,000 words. What’s yours? 

I’ll also try and track the tag #teesdayofwriting so feel free to use that to keep me updated and join in! Alternatively you can blacklist this if you don’t want to see my updates throughout the day.

(I’m gonna try and actually set a specific date to do this every month from now on but... life. We’ll see how it goes!) 

Happy writing!

Self promotion

In application essays and personal statements, make yourself look as good as possible. Don’t discuss anything negative about yourself. Learn how to phrase your accomplishments and positive personality traits clearly and impressively in order to convince the reader that you would be a truly exceptional addition to their institution.

To My Possible Lover

As surely as the cold touches of my waves

 I hope to love you as I stay 

My deepest desires have put out your fires

 But turned your gaze into somber days 

I drawn to make you feel black days 

Hoping and wishing you would chase

 The inner fogs that turned a maze

 To a very balsamic and winter phase

 I hope to beat you at this game 

That turned us both into summer's fade

 Deliciously you walked to pace 

Quickly trying to get away

 But I'll never let you find another 

Or walk your days with someone under 

The scene of which helped pave the way 

For you to ask me, "If I stay?"

In truth we know what we have due 

But choose to plunder with anew 

Farewell my deepest wrongful lover I took your days 

And gave you slumber

-C

Writing mediums

Different mediums for writing have different pros and cons. If you’re a fast typer, writing on a computer helps you write out your thoughts quickly and in a format that is automatically clean and easy to read. Handwriting takes more time, but can feel more important and individual. What’s your favorite medium for writing?

Coffee tip - Moderation

Coffee is essential to many students and professionals, and can be a useful productivity tool. But like all good things, too much coffee can leave you feeling more anxious than energized, and can deprive you of sleep. Know your coffee limit to hit that sweet spot between revitalized and overdrive!
