Toss in five new words. By new words I mean words that you would not typically use otherwise. You can open to random pages in the dictionary, look at a few word-of-the-day lists, or break out the thesaurus. Expand your vocabulary or make your character sound pretentious.
Get your list of words. Find thirty minutes to write. Then challenge yourself to write using those words in that time frame. Make sure that it remotely makes sense.
But more importantly, have fun!
Time to throw something in. No matter what you are writing you need to add this to the mix.
The theme is:
Finding Peace in a Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Okay… go ahead… you can make it work. No worries.
Have fun!
Before I get into this one I want to remind you that each prompt can be used to write a stand alone piece, a collection of pieces, or serve as parts that come together to equal a novella or novel.
So now let’s focus on setting. Where are you in this story you want to tell? Even a poem tells a story so don’t feel limited if that is the format you are writing in. Take sometime to describe the setting you have in your mind. Try your best not to simply tell. Show it. Showing it allows the readers imagination to get a jump start.
Just remember to have fun with it!
What will you see when the fog lifts? What is revealed to you? What is made clear? What shines?
Write an acrostic using the name of your favorite fictional character. But the piece should have nothing to do with that character.
If you are a visual artist, place a representation of that character in a place it doesn’t fit.
Have fun with this!
Complete this thought:
In the end…
Use whatever form of creativity suits your fancy!
I apologize for missing the last few days.
To make up for that take the time to explore different forms of writing or art. I missed three days. Explore three different ways to express your creativity. One should be written and one should be a visual art. The other can be whatever suits your fancy. Step outside of your comfort zone. Try some new things!
Create something based simply from the last thing that you have read (prior to this). Doesn’t matter if it was another blog post, email, sign, paperwork, or menu.
Create a piece centered around one or more oxymoron.
Describe the sunrise and dawn, using visual images or verbal imagery.
