  • Day 14 | Mine Your Memories for Emotions by Julie Duffy
    The Prompt Today you’re going to dig into your memories and find one that has emotional resonance. (Tip: it’s easy to reach for a dark memory, because those have strong emotions attached to them, but don’t be afraid to dig around for moments of joy, surprise, and happiness too. Happy stories can be deep, too!) … Continue reading "Day 14 | Mine Your Memories for Emotions by Julie Duffy"

    The Prompt Write a story of exactly 100 words with the theme “Inhuman”. My illustration for this prompt suggests one way to go with this theme, but I can think of many ways you could twist this and surprise readers. Don’t forget it’s OK to over-write or under-write and then trim or add, as necessary. … Continue reading "Day 11 | Inhuman by Julie Duffy"
  • Day 10 | Darkness to Light by Renan Bernardo
    The Prompt Choose a bleak, hopeless setting (examples: a dystopian city, a prison, a refugee boat). Write a story in this setting and make everything dark for the protagonists. They can’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. Without changing the setting or the characters (and without writing a sequel/prequel), write a story … Continue reading "Day 10 | Darkness to Light by Renan Bernardo"
