Daily Creativity #13: Focus on the Letter W

It’s Wednesday! Today, we are going to be guided by a letter of the alphabet: W! Really focus on the W in the What, Where, and Who of your Work. Create a drama that takes place on a Wednesday, in a place (or places) beginning with W, in which all the characters have names beginning with W, and which turns on something to do with a W. When you’re done, and you’ve earned some downtime, you can relax by Watching the very silly movie It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) on YouTube or Google Play – and then as a bonus activity, you can write a review of that for Stone Soup!

Daily Creativity #11 | Flash Contest: Write about how COVID-19 has affected your life

How has COVID-19 affected your daily life so far? What has changed, and what is still the same? Which changes are positive, and which negative? What makes you most anxious when thinking about it? Most hopeful? Is there a particular experience that represents the change to your life most clearly? Write a 300-500-word blog post exploring these questions and examining your experiences so far. Remember: this is a Monday prompt, so if you are writing your response in the week it was first published, you can submit it to our Weekly Flash Contest (entries due by Friday), via Submittable!

Daily Creativity #10: Create an Art Piece of One of Your Happiest Moments

Create a visual representation of one of your happiest moments. You could re-stage it for a photograph, paint it with watercolors, or use any other medium that you can come up with. Today’s project is an art project. You can approach this project by being literal–you depict in a painting, drawing, or photograph exactly what you are remembering. But it is also possible to approach this more impressionistically–a sky full of fireworks, a flying bird, a lovely flower, might be ways to express the right feeling of happiness that the moment made you feel.
