Your main character’s sibling, cousin, or best friend has been given a prize, award, honor or other distinction that they had hoped to receive for themselves. Write a story about what happens–how they feel, what they do, and how it impacts their relationship with the other character.

Daily Creativity #68: Write about an Embarrassing Moment
Write about your most embarrassing moment. You can embellish as much as you want. (This might be a stretch–but it won’t be so embarrassing once you’ve put it into words!)
Daily Creativity #67: Recreate a Still Life Painting
Still life paintings are full of hidden meaning. Look carefully at “Vanitas” by Pieter Claesz (1597-1661). Make a list of at least 6 items that you can identify in it, and think about what they convey. What would some equivalent objects be in today’s world? Now, find those objects in your own home. Arrange them in a similar composition to the original painting, and make a drawing, painting, or photograph of your own.
