Writing Prompt #2: Happiness
3 Comments »3rd February, 2008; Category: Writing prompts
Here is a quick and easy writing prompt.
It can be used as a warm-up exercise to get your writing brain going in the morning, or when you don’t know what to write about.
Happiness
Write about happiness.
In a ten minute period, finish this line in as many ways as you can:
“Happiness is….”
Here are some examples to get you going:
- Happiness is smelling a beautiful rose.
- Happiness is seeing a beautiful sunset.
- Happiness is snuggling into a warm bed on a cold night.
- Happiness is a bowl full of strawberries and icecream.
- Happiness is…
Go to it.
Good writing.
Hint: Why not share a few of your sentences in the comments?
Writing prompt #1 – Alphabet Soup
Are you looking for a writing prompt? Or a writing challenge?
One of the staff of Writers’ Digest has issued a writing challenge:
Write a 26 word story where every word begins with a different letter of the alphabet.
That might sound easy – but I tried – and ran out of steam somewhere around the letter Q. It is not as easy as it sounds. Most contributors have followed strict alphabetical order (eg Albert beat Connie doing elegant flips…etc). Last time I checked one contributor had used the letters in a random order. There are no other rules.
Submit your mini-masterpieces here. Entries close in a few days.
If you miss out there, you could always submit them here on my blog through the comments section.
Mmmm – now how can I finish that story?
Albert beat Connie doing elegant flips. Greta hesitated. I just knew….
Never mind – I just cannot seem to go any further – and make sense. The poor old brain is in melt down mode.
