Creative Writing Exercise #3: a drabble

This Friday's writing exercise is a quickie. :) A drabble is a concise story told in exactly 100 words. The title is not part of the drabble.

Write a 100 word drabble for the prompt (Word Counter):

"a stained glass variation of the truth"

Creative Writing Exercise #2: Writing Darkness, Writing Suddenness
[#1]

Imagine the following scene:
Character A walks along a lighted hallway at night. Character B appears outside of the window, then climbs inside through the window. In this exact moment, the light goes out. It's pitch-black dark in the hallway. Both characters can only navigate by touch, by sounds and smells.

Write this scene without using the word "suddenly" and without using words describing darkness like "dark, darkness, black, blackness". Give the characters a gender and a name. You can write either from the point-of-view of Character A or from the pov of Character B. Decide whether they know each other or not. Decide whether they find the light switch at the end of the hallway or not. Decide whether hitting the switch will make the light go on again or not. You may write fanfic or original fic.

Write a full scene (with beginning, some kind of tension arc and ending) with a maximum word count of 500 words. (Word Counter)

Post your writing in a comment to this post, no later than Sunday, September 11, 6pm GMT.
(Late posts are, of course, welcome. The deadline is just for people who write better with a deadline. :))

In August, I taught a four week online novel coaching course and came up with creative writing exercises for the participants. The exercises were a lot of fun and I thought I'll post them here, every Friday all through September. (Thank you, [livejournal.com profile] kitty_fic for giving me permission to post :D). You can write fanfic or original fic.

Creative Writing Exercise #1

1. Chose one of the pictures:

Hopper Brooklyn1932.jpg
Edward Hopper, Room in Brooklyn (1932)


JeffWallMilk1984.jpg
Jeff Wall, Milk (1984)


2. Write 600 to 1000 words about the picture you've chosen. Don't analyze it, don't put it into a historical or art perspective. Simply describe the picture and discover a story in it. Note specific details and use them for your writing. You may write a description of the picture, or a short story inspired by it.

Post your writing in a comment to this post, no later than Sunday, September 4, 6pm GMT.
Do not write more than 1000 words. (Word Counter)
