WitFit Process

1. Register to receive the daily prompt emails, or simply visit the prompts page for the month—a new page is posted every day.
2. WitFit prompts will be posted daily on the Fictionista Workshop website each day.
3. Fictionista Workshop will send you two writing prompts on every weekday and a single, more challenging prompt on Saturdays. Sunday is “reflection day” for all WitFit writers, and no prompts will be sent. We encourage writers to use this time to think about their next prompt, or to explore what they’ve created up to that point.
4. Choose one (or both!) of the prompts, then think about what you might write. Challenge your imagination to create an entry for every day you receive new prompts!
5. Email your daily entries no later than midnight Pacific Time to fictionista.witfit@gmail.com, using the format shown in “How to submit your entries,” below. Paste the entire block of marked-up text into the body of your email, changing only the portions shown in all caps.
6. Fictionista Workshop will post all entries received by the deadline to our website, in the comments section of the individual prompt page for the date.
7. At the end of the month, we’ll give you the option to renew your subscription for the following month, but don’t worry—you can always sign up again if you need to take time off.
8. We’ll also ask you to let us know how we’re doing by completing a participant survey for the month.
9. Share the WitFit program with other writers, and help them to reach their writing goals right along with us!

Notes:

• All tagging and formatting must be preserved in your submissions—edit only the text that appears in all caps, and do not alter any text inside of the <strong> tags. (Though we’ve used all caps to denote the text you can change, use regular casing in your submissions.)
• Paste the body of your entry between the “spoiler” tags, ensuring that you have two line breaks between each paragraph.
• Mark any boldface text using <strong> and </strong> tags, and any italicized text using <em> and </em> tags.
• Fictionista Workshop is not responsible for the appearance of any submissions that do not follow these guidelines.
