Does anyone have any creative writing assignments?

We Answered:

This site has a writing prompt generator. It might seem dumb, but I use some of these to get me started. And once I start....well, you know. It's worth trying if you feel blocked. A lot of these are basic, but they get you thinking.

Assignments to expect in a creative writing class?

We Answered:

First, you'll go over a lot of literary techniques, poetic devices, etc. Your first assignment will probably be to write a very short story. You'll study poetry, the different types of sonnets, the structure of rhyming poetry, rhythm, that kinda thing. You'll write your own sonnets and haikus and freeform poetry. You'll play with symbolism, maybe. And your biggest project will be to write a full-length short story (maybe ten pages or so), with characters, a plot, setting, theme. It'll be fun!

Be prepared for peer editing and critiques. I hated it because there was one really stuck up girl in my CW class. But overall, a good experience. Good luck, and have fun with it!

How to stop procrastinating and do my creative writing assignment?

We Answered:

As the post before says, make a list of everything the paper needs to cover. Then, stop thinking about it having to be ready by tomorrow.

Just start writing. Try to get your mind flowing in thoughts and imagination...

Are you a happy type of person or mostly sad?
Do you like spring, summer, fall, or winter?
What is your favorite animals? Favorite pet?
Do you like love stories or comedies?

What does it have to be about? Can you give me an idea?

Do you like the city or the country side?
Do you like to go to the busy malls or to a babbling brook?
Who is your hero? Who is your villain?
Do you prefer the mountains or the ocean?

A story, a fictional story, a life story, what type of story are they looking for?

These are the type questions that tap YOUR creativity and your imagination. If you can usually flow with a book report, I believe you will be able to pull this off if you just stop thinking about the deadline and think about what you have to do.

Not an answer just a little motivation. Wished I could see what you have so far.

creative writing?

The answer to your question is stereotypes! The characters from chaucer were stereo types, of sorts, of classes of people and occupations from chaucers time so i would recomend the following:
1.)a white male high school drop out from an upper class family in the suburbs who writes a story about the street life but his story is nothing by lifeless cliches and misrepresentations

2.)a black female single mother who works as a secretary for a slip and fall law firm and lives in the affordable housing of paterson and writes a story about a love triangle between the rich white lawyer, his mistress and his wife and the self destructiveness of the over priveleged

3.) a white teen female student who is completely gothic, black clothes tons of piercings, bleached white skin and too much make up who, despite her "misery chick" attitude through the narative part writes a very mushy love story

4.) an elderly black man, maybe in his late 80's who still has vivid memories of jim crow, he is living off of social security and a small pension from his previous employer, he doesn't talk much but everything he says is meaningful, he writes a story about minding your own business but the story ends in disaster for the timid narator who ignores deteriorating social conditions until things get too bad and consume him
