So this is how this is going to work:
Every week on this day I am going to post a writing prompt. Some of these will be ones that I made up, some of them will be from my school creative writing club, and a few might be from a week-long creative writing course I went on this summer just gone, and other sources. Some may well be for more than one writer to collaborate on. Bonus points if you manage to include Ross's Weird Word Of The Week in your piece! (We'd love to hear if you do!)
If you want to share what the prompts inspired you to write with us, then please do! Post it in the comments if it isn't too long - or maybe just your favourite paragraph or line.
And here's the first prompt!
All books and stories need a setting; it's one of the things you learn to put in a story when you're in primary school. Choose a place that you know well and then choose a character - it would work best if you choose someone from a fantasy or future/dystopian world, or from a different culture, or someone from a historical novel. Now put that character in that place. Bearing in mind that this setting is by no means one that they are familiar with, what are their thoughts about this place? Describe it from your character's point of view: what does someone seeing it for the first time see that someone who sees it on a more regular basis might not?
