14-day Creative Writing Challenge

This is an adaptation of Bryn Donovan’s 5,000 Writing Prompts book.

1. To get started, set a specific time of day when you'll do your writing. Maybe it's first thing in the morning, during your lunch break, or before bed. Choose a time that works best for you and stick to it.

2. Every day at roughly the same time, go to page,
   100 creative writing prompts use the random number generator, and get a prompt! Whatever prompt number your get, write about it for fifteen minutes.
1. Can I change my prompt if I don’t like it? No - please stick with it. Don’t look for another one, even if it’s very different from anything you would ever imagine yourself writing. That’s a good thing!
2. And if it’s a prompt that makes you think, “I know nothing about this subject,” I don’t care. You might know more about it than you realize at first, and anyway, the point is to get your imagination going.

3. Write a description, a short scene, a conversation, a paragraph—whatever comes into your head is fine. For those 15 minutes, write fast. Don't worry about grammar, spelling, or punctuation at this stage. Just focus on getting your thoughts down on paper. It doesn’t have to be high quality - it just has to be writing.

4. Do this once a day for two weeks.

5. Then you’re done!

Optional - for comic creators:

1. After the 15-min writing session, you now have 45 minutes to panel your story idea.

2. Set a timer and let loose! Imagine you’re going to present these thumbnails to an editor or instructor at the end. You aren’t being graded on how pretty your thumbnails look - just that they’re readable, well-paced, and have a start and end. Even if it's just a goofy conversation between two friends give it an end.
