Journal Writing Prompts

Stella Said:

Will someone please help me with these journal prompts?

We Answered:

do your own homework, you will learn more that way instead of asking random strangers on YA! answers for help with your homework, besides, we are not getting payed to do your homework, so why should we even consider helping you when you are getting a decent education in school and in the end you end up coming to YA answer and asking people like me for help,

slacker.

Writing Prompts

- One day you wake up to find your dog/cat waiting for you at the side of your bed, sitting on your briefcase. Cocking its head, it tells you, in perfect English, that you won’t be going to work today. Why won’t your pet let you go to work, and what happens?

- Choose your favorite book. Then, write a first-person narrative from the viewpoint of a minor character.

- Write a sappy love poem to a distant personage, then go back and change/add words to make it sarcastic.

- Using as much alliteration as you can (Annie always ate apples) tell a story about your meeting with a group of alien ambassadors.

- Come up with a new holiday. Explain why and how it should be celebrated.

- You often hear people say, "You'll never understand another person until you've walked a day in his or her shoes." Choose a fictional character and walk a day in his or her shoes. Now write about it.
.
- Write a letter to yourself that you will open in six months. Include your current accomplishments and concerns, and remind yourself of one thing from today that you want to make sure "future you" does not forget.

- You've been given an opportunity to be a contestant on your favorite game show. Write about your experience, your interaction with the host and how you made it to the final round with a chance to win. Also, end the piece with the line "And that's how I almost won (fill in the blank)."

- Storms have knocked out the power. You find the flashlight and make shadow bunnies on the wall, but you can tell the kids are not amused. So instead you decide to tell a scary story. Create a story that would scare even the toughest of teenagers.

- You've left town—ditching your old, miserable life—hoping to start a new life for yourself. You've given yourself a new name, fake background and style. Write about your first encounter in your new town.

Glenda Said:

How can I improve my writing?

We Answered:

Practice. Write on something until you finish it. Don't worry about editing it until you are done. Then re-read it, edit as you go along, and if you don't like something change it. Don't trash it all together. A good way to practice is by writing a journal. Another good way is to write fan-fiction. Write on a movie, show, cartoon, book that you like and make up your own plot lines. You can't actually publish it to make money off of, but you can post it to a fan-fiction website where you can get reviews and critiques from different people. That will allow you to see where it is that you need the most work. I don't know of a website with journal help. But I know the best way for me to enhance my writing skills was to read others works and reviews, and to get reviews and critiques of my own work. Some times the critics can be horrible, but you'll survive!
