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.

Daily Creativity #15: Write New Lyrics or Music for a Handwashing Song

Are you still singing the same old hand washing song? Are you tired of it, yet? Write some new words to fit with your favorite melody. Maybe it’s the tune you are tired of. If you are musical, compose a new one, and write down your composition; if you can’t do that, choose a new tune and amend the words as required. Teach the song to the others you share a bathroom with. (Rinse, and repeat this process whenever you need a change.)
