WRITING PROMPTS
The Daily Special — Dec 13th
Fiction Prompt
Welcome to the month of December, PW writers and readers! Things are going to be a bit different around here this month. Mon, Wed, Fri, and Sun will all be fiction! Tues, Thurs, and Sat will all be poetry! There will be a Weekly Special posted every Monday, but there will not be a Weekend Challenge this month. What is going to make December fun is that you may use fiction prompts to write poetry and poetry prompts to write fiction! Or, use the prompts as is. Let’s get on with the prompting, shall we?
Today’s Fiction prompt
Write an anti-holiday story.
For every giving, generous person during the holidays there seems to be another who is a modern-day Scrooge or Grinch. Here’s your chance to write your own Scrooge or Grinch story. Do you keep it anti-holiday? Does it have a moral twist to it? You decide.
You may use the prompt to write a poem in any form and length.
Word Length — Any (as many words as necessary to tell the story)
Restriction — You may not use the word Scrooge or Grinch in the story or poem.
‘Restrictions’ are to challenge you as a writer. However, with everything else here at PW, use these prompts in any way that allows the creative juices to flow.
Write promptly and enjoy! And don’t forget about the Monthly Theme!
