30 in 30: Day Eleven – Monkey Wrench

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!

30 in 30: Day Ten – Insert random story

Throughout your travels, take a moment to people watch. Pick a particularly interesting person out. Add that person to your mix. Do not approach them or ask them about who they are. Imagine it. Write their story. What brought them to the place where you saw them? What is their current set of circumstances? What goes on in their mind?

Variety in a longer story adds spice. It can add freshness to a collection of poems, essays, or short stories.

Have some fun with it!

 

Happy Writing!

30 in 30: Day Four – So what’s the problem?

Now is your time to create the conflict in your piece. There might be one big conflict or several small ones. It can be external or internal. Play with it. Use it to build your piece. Get creative.

Happy Writing!

30 in 30: Day Two – The other side

So yesterday you created your character and tried to sell them.

Today… let’s be realistic. No one is perfect, even in fiction. So no matter what form you are writing in we need to face flaws.

Take some time to be honest about the flaws of your character. These flaws are what makes your character realistic and gives them depth.

Go ahead. Get creative.

30 in 30 : Day One – Where to begin?

Let’s get a little different with this 30 day challenge. At the end, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a collection or an almost finished something? If you aren’t writing a novel you could put together a collection of short stories, poems or essays. Whatever you decide to do make sure you are really stretching your creativity.

So… it is day one. Where shall we begin?

I like to begin with a character. Create a scene or a poem that describes your fictional (or real) character. Consider this the first impression that you WANT your readers to get. Play up all the highlights. You are basically selling your character to the reader.

Go for it!

Writing Prompt – Your ideal day

Take a few moments to map out your ideal day. What does it look like? What does it feel like? Go from start to finish.

Use whatever form of writing speaks to you right now.

P.S.
Speaking it into existence makes it more likely to actually happen.

April Creativity Prompt 30 of 30

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!
