WRITING PROMPTS
The Daily Special — Dec 12th
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
The family is coming over for a holiday gathering. You decide to make one of your grandmother’s traditional treats. You decide what the treat is. Set the scene, write a story based on it.
You may use this prompt as a springboard for a poem. Have you ever tried a family member's recipe? What happens?
Word Length — Any (as many words as necessary to tell the story)
Restriction — Something goes awry!
‘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!
