Apparently Vancouver set a record for low temperatures in February and I can vouch that it was pretty chilly for this particular patch of the planet. What better way to celebrate (?) than a bunch of questionable cold weather writing prompts.
- It’s said there are 500 ways to say “snow.” Come up with another 500.
- Write an action adventure about a snowman caught in a hothouse. Throw in some vampires, too.
- Imagine you were caught up in the mountains during a raging blizzard. That would really suck. You’d probably die or lose all your hands and feet or something. So write a romantic comedy featuring anthropomorphized raccoons instead.
- List 10 things to do with snow and hard liquor
- Write a story where one night a magical frost gnome appears and grants you anything you want, as long as it rhymes with frost
- The first time Betty went ice skating she fell and fell and fell. She just couldn’t skate. Everyone laughed! But Betty wouldn’t let others get her down. She practised and practised and got better and better. Then she got got run over by a Zamboni on the night of her Olympics competition. Write the story as a safety brochure on Zamboni driving.
