I want to try doing a 30 day creative writing challenge right after finishing exams. Sort of like NaNoWriMo but without the pressure of having to write an insane amount of words each day. As well as more variety, which should make it easier to stick to. I will list the prompts and then stop thinking about blogging or looking at other people's blogs until the 21st. Here they are:
Day 1: Re-write a classic fairy tale
Day 2: Write a fanfiction
Day 3: A story that takes place pre-1950
Day 4: A poem using the words: blue, mistrust, half, twang
Day 5: A story revolving around an object in your room
Day 6: Start your story with: “He glanced at his watch impatiently…”
Day 7: Create a superhero. Have he/she save the day.
Day 8: Write a prequel to that Superhero. Pre-Superhero life. Maybe their childhood.
Day 9: A story about your favourite city
Day 10: Start story with: “She touched the little box in her pocket and smiled…”
Day 11: A story where the characters go without power for a day.
Day 12: “Silvery flakes drifted down, glittering in the bright light of the harvest moon. The blackbird…”
Day 13: Begin with “I thought I saw…”
Day 14: Write a story based on a dream you had
Day 15: Select a book at random in the room. Find a novel or short story, copy down the last sentence and use this line as the first line of your new story.
Day 16: Put your music on random. Write a story about the first song that comes up.
Day 17: Use time travel in a story
Day 18: A story set in a ghost town.
Day 19: Write in second-person
Day 20: Use these words in a story: grandfather, photo album, post office, and folder
Day 21: He or she sees their crush in a library. describe the incident.
Day 22: Write in dialogue only
Day 23: Describe/fictionalize a childhood memory
Day 24: Write a story that takes place 100 years in the future
Day 25: Write a story about a mythical creature.
Day 26: Write about the 30th picture on your phone or computer. Write about the story behind it, or make up the story behind it.
Day 27: Story taking place during a sporting event (any sport)
Day 28: Story on a ship. Past, present, or future.
Do it! These challenges are really fun :)
