Writing

Short Stories

I am working on writing short stories based on prompts from this website. The prompts themselves consist of three elements, which must be woven together into a story and can be interpreted in any way you please. My stories always have a strong fantasy leaning, so expect these to be affected by the same. I find it a challenge to put three predetermined pieces together, and I hope focusing on shorter stories will get me focused more on actually finishing them!

Harris Burdick Challenge

As an additional writing exercise for myself, I also use the book The Mysteries of Harris Burdick by Chris Van Allsburg as a springboard for storytelling. Click above to learn more and see the list of stories I’ve completed. And if you’ve never heard of this book, well it’s about time. It’s an amazing tool for bringing out your creativity and really encouraging your imagination.
