Writing Challenge #8: Free Write!

Keep up the writing! Here's the next challenge. And don't forget! You can go back and do last week's challenge if you missed it!
You can be creative, descriptive, or you could use this as the starting point to introduce a new character. The goal is to let the observation shape and inspire your writing!
Not sure where to start? For details, check out the ideas below then write and post your story under "entries." Don't forget! Each week that you post on intangible ink, Ada Community Library's Teen Summer Reading Writing Project enters you into a Grand Prize Drawing at the end of the summer!

Writing Challenge #4: Poetry

Poetry is a form of art in which language is used for its aesthetic qualities, in addition to, or instead of, its ostensible meaning. -Wikipedia

This week's challenge is to write a poem. Using this genre as a way of expression can be powerful, but can also sometimes be confusing. If you're not sure where to start, check out the links below for some ideas!

Form Poetry

  • Haiku
  • Sonnet
  • Villanelle
Still not sure where to start? Try writing a rhyming couplet, two lines that rhyme with each other at the end of the lines. Rhyming not your thing? Try writing a descriptive paragraph focused on one thought, object or idea, continuing your writing without (or using little) punctuation until you run out of things to say!

Writing Challenge #3: Technical Writing

The goal of technical writing is to clearly communicate a select piece of information to a targeted reader or group of readers for a particular purpose in such a way that the subject can readily be understood.


This week's challenge might be harder than it first appears! There are a few ways you can complete this challenge. See the ideas list below, and post this week's entry!

IDEAS:
  • Write a set of instructions for something unique you do every day. These should be detailed and complete. Someone reading this should be able to follow your instructions to complete a task or activity.
  • Choose an object and describe it as completely as possible. For this one, describe size, weight, functions, etc. rather than using lots of adjectives and long descriptions.
  • Try writing something technical as a first draft, and then include it as part of a poem or other work of fiction! This can be a great way to add detail and specific information to your writing.
