from Creative Writing Now


Email sent to me... Just in time when I am trying to think of making concepts and plans for my future short and added plus  I'm thinking what to write for my contribution on Imaginaccion literary book  2012 :) !


Here are some poetry prompts for you to celebrate the new year.

1) Write a poem about something you tried for the first time in 2011.

2) Write a poem about something you lost in 2011.

3) Write a poem that captures your feeling about 2011 in under 3 lines.

4) Write a poem from the point of view of your future self.

5) Write a poem including all of the following words: champagne, presentiment, midnight, transform.

Looking for story ideas?  Invent a character, and give him or her one of these New Year's resolutions:

1) Your character decides she's going to make a certain person fall in love with her... at any cost.

2) Your character decides finally to stand up to the bully/boss/relative who has been making your character miserable.

3) Your character decides he or she's going to stop lying to everyone about his/her secret (for example, a secret job, a secret problem, a secret relationship).
 
Happy New Year and happy writing!

I wish you a creative, productive, healthy, and happy year ahead.

Warm regards,

Nancy
