For Drabble December, would you prefer prompts for each day, or simply *just* the minimum word goal of 100 words per day?
Okay, "prompts" is winning by a landslide so far, with 6 more days left, so, to get started nice and in advance, do you want prompts to be along a running theme, or completely random?

Drabble December 2024 Announcement Post
Welcome to Drabble December, where your goal is to write a minimum of 100 words per day!
Whether that is part of a standalone "drabble" (as in the name), or 100 words of a larger project, December is meant to keep up the habit of daily writing, while being a nice little "cooldown" from the 1,000 words per day from November!
As always, the goal here is to create, so any kind of writing works, from original fiction, fanfiction, technical writing, school work, cooking recipes, etc!
Here is a MS Paint calendar template, if you want to check your writing off each day, which can also be customized with different backgrounds and art to share as custom Goal Cards:

and here is the full prompt list, which is entirely optional, but great if you're planning on just doing random daily drabbles without working on a longer established work:
1) tattoo 2) the 4th wall breaks, and characters speak directly to their creator 3) High places 4) arch enemies talk about the weather 5) Gifts 6) Snow 7) Platonic bedsharing 8) late nights 9) early morning 10) tea/coffee break 11) Going on a walk 12) too comfy to move 13) cookies 14) dreaming 15) meteor shower 16) a rose 17) bestow protection 18) indulge balance 19) depart opposition 20) ferociously comforting 21) yieldingly strong 22) aggressively mysterious 23) bird-watching 24) more than meets the eye 25) Bees 26) soda and Fries 27) Gentleman Burgler 28) photograph 29) eclipse 30) old life 31) New beginning
