Day 38

Rewrite the past.

Challenge: Look into the butterfly effect and write a story based around that idea.

Tip: Think about every aspect and detail of a story. If a character decides to run around the block in the middle of the night, why? If a character's upset or euphoric, what habits might that character have that show that specific emotion? In the case of this prompt, think of every possible aspect of the change - large scale, small scale, mid scale. What'd change? What'd be the same?

Ready. Set. Rewind.

Day 30

30 days of prompts seems like something to commemorate. Go back through the previous prompts and find one you didn't write or would like to rewrite. Or, if you'd rather, revise one of the prompts you already wrote.

Challenge: Take one of your pieces and change its form. If it's a poem, make it prose. If it's an essay, make it a haiku. If it's a story, make it an essay. Have fun with it.

Tip: When you go back to rewrite or revise something you wrote, read it through once. Then go back through and mark it up with notes of what needs changed or what should stay. Anything you think while rereading, you should jot down. Afterwards, rewrite and revise what needs done. When you think your done revising, read through for typos/grammatical errors/misspellings. You're not done revising/editing unless you've read it through at least four or five times. Also, it's a good idea to read through it once or twice at a time then come back to it later and read through again. Find what works best for your editing and go for it.

Ready. Set. Rewrite.
