Hello everyone! Some people had an imaginary friend while growing up. Did you? Some children dream of having super powers themselves. Did you? Today's writing prompt has to do with imaginary friends. Your assignment is to write a story that includes an imaginary friend. Describe every part of the imaginary friend. Is it... an animal, a person, a made up creature? Does he, she, or it have any special talents or powers? What do you do or talk about with your imaginary friend? Have fun! If you choose to do this assignment, I would be happy to see your results. Thank you! Hello everyone. Mealtime is one of those times that often evoke memories. People remember things like family sitting down to eat at the table and talking about the day, or picnicking out by the lake, or going to the fair and eating fried dough. With all the smells, tastes, and memories, it is often a magnificent time to describe. Writing descriptions is a wonderful skill to practice. Great description makes writing more appealing. It makes it easier to draw your readers into the story and help them relate to characters in your story. I would be happy to read your mealtime descriptions. I will try not to read them while I am hungry. LOL! Hello everyone. Or, um… I mean... "Fight, fight!" Yes. Today's writing prompt is about a fight or an argument. It may not be a real fight. I don't know. That is up to you. When writing, many climactic scenes involve an argument, disagreement, or fight of some sort. That is not always the case, but there is usually a problem of some sort. So, I thought today would be a great day to practice writing a vivid and believable argument scene. Give your readers a sense of what is going on. Describe the setting and the reason for the fight. Who does the fight involve? Who is there? What is it about? Why is it taking place when and where it is? Who started it? Are there witnesses? How does the fight stop? What are the consequences of the fight? As always, I would love to see what your results. Feel free to contact me or leave a tidbit of the scene in the comments section. Thank you. Hello everyone! Description is an important skill for a writer to master. So, I thought I would give everyone an opportunity to practice. Today's writing prompt is to describe the last silly event that you witnessed. Make your readers feel as if they were right there with you. Where were you? Who was with you? When was it? What time of day was it? What happened? What were you feeling? What could you see? What could you hear? What could you smell? Using the five senses often helps to make a description more vivid. Also, use specific words. For example: Instead of saying "dog," say "golden retriever." One way to check out whether or not your description was effective or not is to ask people to draw a picture of it. If they draw similar pictures to what you witnessed, then you know you did a great job. Hello everyone! I would like to apologize for not posting the past two weeks. I had a family emergency and also wanted to be respectful of Holy Week. But, I am now back and ready to post. Today’s story starter is on Easter. It asks you to remember or make up a time when Easter was exciting for you. It is a great starter to get descriptive about an Easter day. I wish you well with it. I would love to hear your stories, if you choose to use this story starter. Thank you! Hello everyone! All of us have had a first day of school. Some of us went happily and others not so happily. Either way, there was so much to take in. It makes a perfect event to describe. If you can't remember the first day of preschool or kindergarten, you can always describe the first day of high school or the first day of college. If you are a homeschooler, you could write about the first day of getting together with other homeschoolers. I enjoyed my first day of school! I don't remember all the details. However, I do remember that I had been waiting for months to be able to finally go to school. My husband tells me that his first day of school was not so fun. What about you? What was your first day of school like? |
