At the end of September, I started feeling like I wanted another writing challenge. Luckily, a message from AutoCrit appeared in my inbox. They were going to hold a horror-based challenge called Write Fright. I’ve taken part in so many of their challenges, but Write Fright is new.
I signed up without thinking about it as there were a few days left to do so.
Soon, I got emails with the rules:
No ghosts
No mythical animals
No blood
No zombies
The challenge started on the 4th of October. I decided to make my story about witches. I had the whole first draft dictated by the 5th of October and I had VoiceOver on my iPad read it out to me. I tweaked a few things before submitting on the 9th.
I enjoyed the challenge and hope it happens every year. It really encouraged me to think outside the box which is what AutoCrit wanted us to do.

So what will happen next with this challenge? Will there be a rating of some sort?

Hi Cathy, there’s a video on AutoCrit’s YouTube channel where the voting for the winners happens. Those who take part vote on the winner. Videos and emails with tips for horror writing were also available during the challenge (all on their YouTube channel).
