Optional Secondary Objective: something different
Fall is here, change is in the air. Do something different with your writing. Maybe you usually outline and would like to try winging it. Maybe you typically write scifi and want to try a literary story. Or maybe you want to change up your usual themes or style. Think about what you would find fun and/or challenging, and maybe tell us what you're going to try out so people can take it into account in crits/comments. Or who knows, maybe you'll get some useful tips!
