Why Not Write Wednesday: A Camping Adventure

Every Wednesday our creative writing prompt challenges you to pick up your pen and indulge your author self! 

Today's writing prompt is about camping.  Have you ever gone on a camping trip? What was it like? Imagine you are going to take a trip to the wilderness for a few days.  Write a descriptive story about the things you seehear and smell on your wilderness adventure.

Write about where you will set up camp. Will your tent be in a rustic spot in the middle of a forest or in a field of green grass?  Who will join you on this camping trip, will it be a large group, a few special people or would you go alone?  Would you come across any wild animals or have to deal with stormy weather?  Take us along on your adventure and tell us what happens next!

Why Not Write Wednesdays: What Are You Afraid Of?

Every Wednesday our creative writing prompt challenges you to pick up your pen and indulge your author self! 

Today’s writing prompt is about what scares you.  A few weeks ago we posted some mystery stories on our blog that were written by TMWFI 3rd grade students in North Virginia.  The students embraced their fears and wrote about strange noises in the night, ghosts and killer shark attacks.  Did you know that writing about something that really scares you is a great way to get over your fear?

Write a mystery story about something that scares you.  If you need ideas or inspiration check out our blog post from March 10th.  Notice how our mystery writers took their time building up the suspense and using lots of descriptions for the things they could see, hear and feel.
