Welcome to our winter break creative writing!
We have a couple things for all of us to keep writing during this break. This will be a few hours of writing a week, but feel free to adjust your own goals for your needs/desires. You do not need to participate, but if you want to push yourself to get some words written, go for it!
Overall length goal:
- Long pieces(prose, screenwriting, etc.): 15k words, 20k stretch goal if you're finding yourself ahead of pace
- Short stories: 5 different stories, 7 stretch goal
- Poetry: 10 different poems, 13 stretch goal
Longer prompts:
Try to use these for a few chapters, stories, or poems.
We will post three total, one around every ten days. Here's the first one
Word-prompting:
Use these for jumping-off, just initially getting an idea of what to write about if you're not sure, or for incorporating detail into ideas you already have. It starts January and is every other day--then our spring semester begins Jan. 17th so it ends then.
(See below)
- Reflect on the good and the bad of your college experience so far. What have you learned? How could this make a good story or contribute to ideas in your work?
Please share pieces as you find fit--if you finish a poem, story, or a couple chapters then post it to our Discord #writing-prompts channel, and we hope to see it grow through the next month! I'll be on campus for the winter semester so if anyone wants to meet, whether to discuss or to silently write, that's doable!
Have a good break!
