((I reorganized my Spotify last night, and I felt the urge to revisit this writing exercise I came up with a few years ago: I put my entire music library on shuffle mode, regardless of genre, and try to tell a coherent oneshot story using each song’s lyrics, mood, and or title to determine what happens… Continue reading Playlist Prompt 2
How unnerving do you think it would be if you were a team sport player, like for basketball or soccer or volleyball, and you went to play at a major tournament, and for the entire match, the audience is dead silent? No cheers. No music. Not even the crinkle of a water bottle, the rustle of… Continue reading Flash Fiction: Unnerving
((So I planned on starting a bullet journal tonight, but instead of a clean journal, all I managed to find was a fully printed draft of my IBHL Language & Literature Written Task from high school. I thought it was kind of neat, and it’s pretty short, so I thought I would share it here.… Continue reading LangLit Written Task
((There’s a writing exercise of my own invention that I enjoy on occasion: I put my entire music library on shuffle mode, regardless of genre, and try to tell a coherent oneshot story using each song to determine what happens next. I never know if it will end up literary or young adult until I… Continue reading Playlist Prompt 1
So, I don’t have a lot of time this week – you might have noticed that, by now – so let me just tell you something quick. Brisk and unedited, but just to bring something to your attention: Every culture has its mythos, be it youkai or fair folk or otherwise supernatural entities. Tapirs that devour… Continue reading Urban Folktale 1
(part 1 here) ((Trying to return to the Short Story Challenge, but I’m a day late aha;; As usual, all writing uploaded is closer to a first draft rather than a final, but I hope you enjoy all the same.)) A Fairytale (part 2) In the winter, as flowers died and trees fell asleep, the call… Continue reading 6 – A Fairytale (part 2)
((Wow, okay, this prompt was so hard to answer just because it’s too vague. I have four different versions that I scrapped before I finally went back to finish an old story. It isn’t a particularly strong piece, in my views, and doesn’t have any strong meaning or purpose – it was an exploration of… Continue reading 7 – A Journey
A Fairytale (part 1) Francis was almost nine years old when he first felt the call. It came on like a fever, swaddled him with an ache he felt down to his bones, and all he could remember was the terror. He woke up sobbing a tuneless song of heartache, and his parents had to… Continue reading 5 -A Story in London
((With the first week of school and new responsibilities swallowing up my time, I’m not particularly proud of the execution of this piece. Maybe I’ll revisit it and revise it someday.)) This is the story of a boy and a girl. The two of them were siblings, and they had very different ideas about what… Continue reading 4 – Another Challenge
(With the live-action coming out soon, I thought it would be interesting to read the original Beauty and the Beast and explore its core themes, as well as how those themes would change if I altered the gender roles of the characters. And then it just ran away from me. This initial structure/writing style is based upon… Continue reading 3 – Retelling a Fairytale
