Continuing in our Halloween theme this time of year, today we also offer up seven creative writing prompts as a nod to this macabre time of year.
Here’s a smattering of the prompts we scarily recommend:
- · Write a story about a kid who goes trick-or-treating. Start from the minute he or she puts on his or her costume and finish when he or she gets home and put on normal clothes again. Tell me everything that happens.
- What was the best Halloween you ever had? Why?
- Write a poem about your favorite part of Halloween, telling why it is special to you.
