Mid-Year Mischief

Before the big November push... We play.

June Jottings is our creative refresh. A month for imagination, experimentation, short pieces, strange ideas, and writing that doesn’t need to become a novel.

This is where we loosen up, where we try things, where we remember writing is supposed to be fun.

​

How It Works

• Short. Fast. Playful. Prompts. Time limits. Unexpected constraints.

• One prompt. One timer. Go. Sometimes we all write from the same starting point and see how wildly different the results are.

• Tiny Projects Welcome. Flash fiction. Micro-memoir. Ridiculous dialogue. Something that absolutely should not exist.

​

Activities You Might Encounter

🎲 Story dice chaos
⏳ Timed prompt challenges
🧲 Magnetic poetry madness
🎩 Baron Munchausen-style exaggerated storytelling
✍️ Flash fiction and short-form experiments

No pressure. No word count. No grand ambition required. All you'll need is your imagination.

​

Community & Energy

• In-Person Writing Games: Expect laughter. Possibly competitive nonsense.

• Online Prompt Nights: Jump on Discord and write together in short bursts.

• Low Stakes. High Creativity. This is the deep breath before NoNo.
