Write a story using a newspaper article headline. Day 4. Ring around the star.

in writingexercise •  7 years ago 

This is a new writing exercise for all of us aspiring fiction writers. Every day for the next week I will be posting a newspaper article without any context behind it.

The point of this exercise is to create a short fiction story based on the headline of the article regardless of what content originally followed it.

Let's use the tag #writingexercise

Every day during the next week I will upvote my favorite story at 100% which is currently about $1.10.

Together we can continue to make fiction a big part of Steemit.

DAY 4.

Ring around the star.

  • View the headline that I provide each day

  • Come up with a story for that headline. It can be either a short fiction story or a newspaper article

  • Write a short piece. Take all the time you want.

  • Publish your piece using the title "Writing Exercise", the Day, and the title of the headline. IE.... Writing Exercise - Day 4: Ring around the star.

Each day I will go through and upvote my favorite story at 100% which is currently $1.10.

If this exercise gains traction then it may become a permanent thing. If you have any ideas, comments, or concerns please let me know.

Please upvote and RESTEEM this to give it better exposure.

I'm only going to run this exercise for a couple more days.

Hurrah! you are continuing with the exercise! And a great headline too (and at least one other entry!!!) Let's hope we get some more. Here is mine: https://steemit.com/writingexercise/@felt.buzz/an-anniversary-to-remember-a-writingexercise-based-on-the-newspaper-headline-ring-around-the-star

Yes I'm going to continue it for the full 7 days. That only gives a couple of days though. I can only afford to give one full upvote every day.

I don't think you needed to be so generous. I'd do it for fun

Yeah, we could just run the challenge without having to upvote it. Fun is in doing the challenge
