Jan 10th Happy Endings Let’s start the New Year with an uplifting happy ending! A story or a poem–anything goes, as long as it makes us feel warm inside! Feb 7th Story from a Picture A great way to get ideas. Could there be a story waiting to be told behind a picture you see every day? Or are you inspired by a favourite artist? Mar 6th Alternative Reality Take an event in history & change it! Was a war lost instead of won? Did someone live instead of dying? What were the consequences? April 3rd Change Genre Let’s get out of our comfort zone! If we usually write horror, why not try a romance? Historians could try comedy. Or try poetry? Give it a go-you might find a hidden talent! May 1st Style of an Author Can you write a story in the style of your favourite author or maybe your least favourite? Perhaps you can do a better job than them, or discover a new authorial voice? June 5th Story from a Newspaper Write a story on an article you’ve found- try choosing one tucked away from the front page. Or have a go at journalism! July 3rd Personal Ad A great source of material! Use one that has caught your eye, or make one up. Who is meeting who...and what happens? Aug 7th The Journey Tell us about a journey. Is it one you’ve really been on or an imaginary trip? We’re not worried, as long as it’s a good story! Sep 4th Fiction Square A grid of items to include will be distributed. Throw a die to pick your items and then unleash your imagination.
Oct 2nd Horo/horo-scope A split title this month – base your story or poen either on a horoscope, or if that’s not your thing, try writing horror instead! Nov 6th November Mash-up Splice together two things that really don’t go together-clashing genres or characters? You can make it work if you try hard enough! Dec 4th Different Viewpoints Tell a tale from one person’s viewpoint, then ‘hop heads’ and retell the story from another character’s point of view. Will the accounts tally or be wildly different? A fun end to the year! |
