Writing Assignments, Summer 2011

Here are some writing assignments I came up with to hopefully inspire/provoke you to write more this summer.

Write a poem, short story, creative non-fiction, etc. based on one (or all!) of the assignments below. And please add your own assignments in the comments. The more the merrier!

1. Write a piece based on this movie trailer: http://www.bluelikejazzthemovie.com/
2. Write a piece about going to a wedding.
3. Write a piece about one of your favorite summer memories.
4. Write a piece about this image:
   
5. Write a piece using the combination of: http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photo-of-the-day, http://dictionary.reference.com/wordoftheday/, and http://www.quotationspage.com/qotd.html

The cool thing about #5 is that it can be repeated again and again!

If you're not already an official member of this blog, you can either email your finished assignment and I will post it, or you can request membership and then post it yourself.

For those of you who were involved in writing assignments before on Xanga (wow... Xanga...), I thought I'd bring that back on this blog.

Here are a few assignments for December. The style/genre is up to you unless specified otherwise. Feel free to add your own assignments in the comments. Enjoy!

1. Write about footprints in the snow.

2. Write a poem including the following words: indiscernible, fortune, grass.

3. Write a piece entitled "Silent Night." Whether or not it is related to Christmas is up to you.
