Topic Ideas

Hey all

Here are some more writing topic ideas for you.  Use these as writing prompts to exercise your creativity.  Change it up:  Sometimes you should try to write short songs, or maybe poems, or perhaps sometimes you can write a short story about it instead.  The basic ideas is to get the words flowing out of your brain in creative ways.

Try not to look at them literally (unless of course the literal meaning inspires you!) Twist the meaning of the words… see what you can come up with!

-Write about having the ability to fly

-Write a song about life in a small Japanese town

-Write a song about spending a day in Illinois

-Write about something that makes you feel sad.

-Pick up your favorite CD.  Read the title of the first track.  Write about that title, but make it about a completely different topic than the song on the CD
