Come on in. This is your writing room. There’s a hot cup of coffee just the way you like it and your notebook is warming your lap like a cat. Make yourself comfortable. Grab as much time as you can with both hands. 
We’ve come up with a little something:
Turning Tales, the very first Papyrus Author writing season.
10 topics, 10 weeks of writing together.
Every Tuesday at 10:00 am (ET) we'll post an inspiration in a dedicated thread in the forum. If it speaks to you, write a text-and win!
As short or long, raw or polished as you wish. Post it to said thread over the course of the week. Stay and react to what others have written.
Turning Tales starts on Tuesday, October 11th, and ends on Tuesday, December 20th, ten ideas later.
If you love someone’s text, let them know! Hit the like button. 
Contribute, and we’ll root for you! We’ll celebrate each week’s highest-rated creator with a full year of Papyrus Author+.
Everyone has a chance to win: On top, we’ll give away another year of Papyrus Author+ to a random participant each week!
At the season’s conclusion, we’ll roll out the red carpet for the person who received the most Likes across the 10 topics. We‘ll proudly present him or her on our social media channels with links to their books and all!
To level the playing field between those who post early and those who post later in the week, you will be able to like texts for another week after the submission deadline.
In Turning Tales, we want every one of you to find something that moves you forward.
One of these inspirations might help you through a tricky passage in your manuscript. You might find out what your main character is missing or stumble upon the ideal ending to your novel. You might create a sparkling miniature, a short story or even a trilogy. You have an idea, a community, a room of your own. Anything can happen.
Welcome. 
Summary:
- 10 writing topics, 10 weeks: Every Tuesday begins a new round right here in the season forum.
