Find an everyday object that you don’t usually give much thought to, and write down every detail you can about it. What does it look, sound, taste, smell, and feel like? Does it provoke an emotion or a memory? Is there a story you can tell about it?

Daily Creativity #17: Write a fake interview
Do a fake interview. You can interview anyone: your BFF, your cat, or even your houseplant. Think about what they would answer to your questions, and what you would ask them if you could ask anything.
Daily Creativity #16 | Flash Contest: Write from the Point of View of an Animal
Editor’s note: For this week’s Daily Creativity prompts, we’ve got a special takeover! Molly Torinus, Stone Soup reader and contributor, has written the five prompts we’ll be posting for the week. For today’s, which is the week’s Flash Contest, she will also be co-judge! Write about a day in the life of your pet or a friend’s pet, as if you were that pet. Remember to think about what it might be like to be an animal. How do they see the world? What do they think about humans and their fellow animals? What are their hopes, their dreams, their fears? This is a great exercise in point of view.
