A very Happy Christmas to you all from Island Writers!
Here are some sprinkles of Christmassy writing inspiration to keep you all going over the break – because you won’t have anything else to do, right?
These are of course totally optional, but I’m sure some of you would enjoy a few writing prompts to work on. Anything to get out of the washing-up!
- Make a list of words and phrases including ‘Christmas’.
- You or your characters are snowed-in unexpectedly on the day before Christmas Eve without some important things – gifts? food? booze? decorations? electricity? your guests? – How does Christmas turn out?
- A present wrapped in gold.
- A family has been invited to spend Christmas in Australia. Will they go?
- Find something on the doorstep on Christmas morning.
- What’s the significance/history of the items on your Christmas tree?
- The worst gift turns out to be the best gift. Why?
Have an enjoyable Christmas and we’ll meet up in the New Year.
There’s no meeting on New Year’s Day, so the next Island Writers meeting is on Tuesday 15 Jan 2019, at Ryde Library, 7pm-9pm.
Let’s make 2019 our best writing year ever!
