8, 2009 at 7:40 i took my creative writing class in college the instructor gave us a really good one to use if we couldn’t think of what to write. Asking these questions can take your writing in all kinds of new and interesting directions! Do creative writing as an a level so it would be cool to know if this starter is ok! M 16 and i wrote a great alternate ending for an assignment in english, and i wrote a short christmas story on christmas eve, but now i just don’t know what to write about. There are also lots of writing exercises that you can use to spark writing sessions when you’re feeling uninspired. I am 14 and just wanted to do some creative writing, but could not think of anything to write about. M fourteen, too, and writing is hard to juggle with school and everything else that’s going on. I just wanted to say thank you for posting these prompts because they make for quick, satisfying writing that doesn’t end in frustration (at least, mostly).

I found myself writing more and more when i was troubled a few years back, so it was good stress relief for me. But now that i’m busy with college, i realize that i haven’t been writing as much as i used to. Was a bit confused with where to start off, but these prompts really got my creative juices flowing. 8, 2011 at 8:51 my junior year of high school, we were given a creative writing assignment to expand on this sentence:“a person walked into the room, looked around, sat down, and ate.

That’s always my best remedy, though writing prompts like these always help me get going. Believe in writer’s block, but i think that it’s presented as being unable to write whereas usually it’s just a case of needing to work a little harder at writing.

Supposed assignment actually turned in by two english students:In-class assignment for we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story. Well, you’re a self-centered tedious neurotic whose attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of s: this tandem story “writing assignment” first appeared on the internet in february 1997, when it popped up in the newsgroup , having gotten there from a joke list.
In september 2007, this piece appeared — with names and other factors varying from the example given above (including the information that the assignment was carried out via e-mail, a detail absent from the above example) — in a toronto globe and mail article by sharon melnicer, a former teacher in living in winnipeg, who claimed that it came from an assignment she gave to her grade 12 english students in the late 1990s (which she subsequently presented at a workshop for manitoba english teachers in 1997).
