Monday Mash-Up #2
Story writing prompts to spark your creativity with a challenge
So many of you took on last week’s Monday Mash-Up and I’m amazed by the creativity! At the time of writing JF Danskin, Sweet Chaos, and Jonathon Sawyer have already published their responses which can be found in this list.
As more responses trickle in I’ll be sure to add them to the list! I hope for this next challenge you all jump on it as well.
This week’s main theme is: (Worth 2 points)
“You are in the mountain forest when you come face to face with the snow dragon: an adorable, furry, and surprisingly tiny creature who breathes fire.”
Or
“Being new in town, you decided to introduce yourself to the neighbors. When you knock on the door, you are greeted by a small army of fairies who take you captive.”
In addition to the main writing prompt, I encourage you to include as many constraints as possible. Each one is worth an additional point!
How many points can you make your story worth?
Constraints: (Worth 1 point each)
- Lego bricks (Or building blocks)
- Potatoes
- Someone is mute
- A celebrity look-alike
- Use the phrase: “I know a guy/gal”
- Someone is “overly excited”
Rules:
- Write a story based on one of the main prompts.
- Include as many of the constraints into your story as possible.
- Keep your story between 100–1000 words.
- Use the tag “Mashups” if you like.
- Tag me so that I can read it, please!
- Challenge your fellow writers.
- Publish where ever you want but consider The Kraken Lore.
I hope this inspires you to write something amazing. I would like to challenge Jann Christoph von der Pütten and FJCMontenegro to get the highest score possible!
