Creative Writing Prompts
Write a scene that includes a character speaking a different language, speaking in a thick accent, or otherwise speaking in a way that is unintelligibe to the other characters. (Note: You don't necessarily need to know the language the character is speaking—be creative with it!) Describe a character's reaction to something without explaining what it is. See if your fellow prompt responders can guess what it is. Write a story or a scene about one character playing a prank on another. Describe the scene from both characters' points of view. Writing Prompt: Write a story that involves confusion over homonyms (words that have the same spelling but different meanings) or homophones (words that sound the same but are spelled differently). For World Storytelling Day, share the best story you've ever heard or told by word of mouth, or have a fictional character recount their favorite story. You're making your way down a cobbled street when a stocky, red-bearded man beckons you into an alley.

EDIT: The prompts do not have to be done in order (although I recommend it)--you just can't repeat the same prompt. I suggest doing them in order, as it's more challenging, but if you want to take it a bit easier on yourself, post the list of prompts in your member journal and cross them out as you do them. It will not affect the prize. Thank you! I divided the prompts by week, so I will post them 4 weeks per post. Week I 001. Week II 008. Week III 015. Week IV 022.

I can hear some of you yawning. Example: "10 powerful tips to increase fan engagement on Facebook" 2. Most people prefer to hear bad news, or things they should avoid.

Soul Dissonance | Tsukuyomi
The night was darkest, it satisfied him for he hated the light most. The pleasure was promptly lost and his mind was fixed, which is usual of him, but the problem was the point of fixation. He never thought that the shadow, the doppelgänger, could even partially affect who he is, or at the moment who he was. Its existence didn’t affect his presence or alter control over his mind, but his attitude was in a great extent shifted. At first it was chaotic to feel so overtaken by something that wasn’t identifiable for some good time, or actually for a whole life time. Soon the dissonance progressed, and perception between what’s real and what’s not started to grow cryptic. A while later he started to doubt himself and realized that he needs a hand to overcome his shadow, but in a flash the doubt was shattered at the moment he remembered that the shadow is a part of himself. It was over the time he realized what his phantasm was actually fighting for. Like this: Like Loading...
Fifteen Writing Exercises
Writing exercises are a great way to increase your writing skills and generate new ideas. They give you perspective and help you break free from old patterns and crutches. To grow as a writer, you need to sometimes write without the expectation of publication or worry about who will read your work. Don’t fear imperfection. That is what practice is for.
