Here I am, once again sharing with you some useful tips to help you become a better Creative Writer. You know, I firmly believe everyone has the potential to be a great writer; and even if I never become a published Author, if I help someone else attain that goal, I'll be happy. (Okay that's a little egotistical, but it's true lol!)
So in this blog, I wanted to offer a "homework assignment" of sorts. Earlier this year (Feb. 2011) I posted some of my work on my channel called: Seven Super-Short Stories in 7 Days.
I wrote a new story every day for 7 days straight, uploaded it, and titled each story after the day of the week that the story was written.
Now as I said in the video (see below) the reason I did this is to challenge myself to write in a way that was out of my element.
So, the assignment is this: Take one of my stories you like the best and
A: Pick up where I left off and add to it, or
B: Take what I've written & re-write it in your own writing style.
I think it's a good idea to re-write another writer's piece of work because it will help you identity your own writing style & technique, strenghts, and weaknesses.
Now, I call them super-short for a reason, no story is over 200 words. Here are the links for all 7 stories:
7 super short stories: Monday
