Image of Backpacker at sunset for November 2024 RebelWriMo
Since we're striking out on our own path, Sockmonkeys, it seemed only fitting that the theme for the month should be Choose Your Own (Writing) Adventure, inspired by the Choose Your Own Adventure book series. The image above shows a backpacker at sunset with the words "November 2024 - RebelWriMo - Choose Your Own (Writing) Adventure in black above a small photo of a map with a digital camera, sunglasses, an open compass and an open notebook with a pen scattered on top of it. Below that in a black box in yellow letters is #PCSockmonkeyWriters.
I'm not sure how many of you ever read any of the Choose Your Own Adventure stories, but we're truly doing that this month because there is more than one way to take part in our challenge. In a previous post, I mentioned our November Trackbear Leaderboard, which is one example of this, because you can participate on the leaderboard using whatever goal YOU decide. It then shows you on the graph based on your current percentage towards that chosen goal. We're still at the beginning of the month, and you can sign up at any time. Just choose your goal and have it end on November 30th to be included on the graph with other Sockmonkey writers.

While the first full week of the month doesn't start until tomorrow, I wanted to consolidate this post to keep from posting too many things at once, so here is the graphic of our story theme for Week One of RebelWriMo. Each week is a Choose Your Own Adventure title, picked because it seemed to fit the type of act in story structure as we progress through the month. Week one is the Call to Adventure, where we're all settling into whatever we're working on and things often seem exciting and fast-paced, so the title chosen as the theme for this week is "Greed, Guns & Gold." (Hey, if you're stuck for some words, feel free to use that as a prompt!) If you (or your Main Character) haven't accepted the Call to Adventure yet, don't worry - there's still plenty of time.
Whether you're writing, editing, researching or any combination thereof, know you're welcome to join us for any of our online or in person events. We'd love to chat with you and cheer you on toward your goals, even if you decide not to participate in the Trackbear. Come take part in our writing community!
**Image shows an illustration of sand dunes on a black starry background with an orange planet in it. A beige curved bubble has the words RebelWriMo Week One in black above the words Call to Adventure in white on the black background in smaller letters. On the sand dune in the lower left is an illustrated cowboy hat next to a drawing of an old pistol with a bag of gold coins next to that and the words Greed, Guns & Gold under them in dark letters.
