Writing Prompt - Week Six

The Last Prompt of July! I'm going to write my response to this prompt and post it tomorrow. I'd be interested to see what anyone else comes up with. Feel free to post your writing as a comment. 

And again: the idea is not to create the best writing ever, but to create some writing.

Today's prompt: You have seven minutes to tell everyone in the United States anything that you'd like. What do you tell us? What would you show us? What would you want to happen after you were done talking to us?

OR:

Two people knock on your door and call you by a name that is not yours. You pull out your wallet to show them your identification and it says...the two people are right. That is your name. What do you do? What happened? WHO ARE YOU? 

OR: 

Write whatever you'd like.

And remember...have fun!

Writing Prompt - Week Five

Another week = another prompt! Let's write. If you are so inclined, feel free to post your writing as a comment below. 

Remember: the idea is not to create the best writing ever, but to create some writing.

Today's prompt:You have been chosen to be the president of the United States. What would you like to see for the country? What would you change? What is just fine as it is? How do you feel about being chosen as president? For an extra challenge, write this as if it were a political speech for thousands of people! 

OR:

You are stuck in an elevator with two other people. You discover that your cell phones don't work. What do you do? What do you say to the other two people in the elevator? Who are the two other people in the elevator? And what was that sound you just heard...?!

OR: 

Write whatever you'd like.

And remember...have fun!

Writing Prompt - Week Four

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a PROMPT! If you are so inclined, feel free to post your writing as a comment below. Remember: the idea is not to create the best writing ever, but to create some writing.

Today's prompt:
You find yourself stuck in the middle of a lake with one other living being (friend, family, animal). What do you do? What does that living being say or do? What do you see/hear/smell/taste/feel?

OR:

You are a famous rock star/politician/writer/dancer/artist. Write a letter from a fan to you. What do they love about you and your work?

OR: 

Write whatever you'd like.

And remember...have fun!

Writing Prompt - Week Three

Happy Independence Day!

I find that summer brings me opportunities to write letters or postcards that I don't make time for during the school year. So one of today's prompts will be just that. (That prompt may require more than seven minutes, and you may want to revise it to make sure your reader can understand what you are writing!) Remember: the idea is not to create the best writing ever, but to create some writing.

And if you'd like to, post your writing as a comment below.

Today's prompt:

Write a postcard to someone who may not expect to hear from you. It could be a friend or a family member or a camp counselor or whomever you'd like.

Seven Minute Ideas:

Write about gaining independence. It could be the US's independence from Britain, or the planet's independence from aliens, or your independence from school, or...

OR: write whatever you'd like.


And remember...have fun!
