Hello everyone!
“Play is a child’s work and this is not a trivial pursuit.” – Alfred Adler
Your writing challenge for the next two weeks is to choose one of the six word groups below and write a short story that uses all of the words mentioned. To make this even more challenging, you can roll a die to determine which set of three words you must use. (All of the words in the lists are from cards randomly drawn from the game Apples to Apples.)
- Chickens, Gossip, Zen
- The Little Mermaid, The JFK Assassination, Scene of the Crime
- Quicksand, Pro Wrestling, A Crawl Space
- Confucius, Roman Numerals, Dr. Kevorkian
- Firefighters, Jimmy Stewart, Leather
- The 1950s, Pond Scum, Marriage
*This writing prompt was inspired by an activity Justin Tappan had us do at our critique group.
Happy writing!
Katie
