Avoid predictable stories by thinking of more than one idea for each prompt and writing the most original one. It’s fun to get a group of friends together and compare the differences in your stories.
Experiment with using the five senses in your writing. How did it look, feel, taste, smell and sound?
Use different words to start each sentence in a paragraph.
Invent a new fairy, make up their name, and describe what they wear.
