      Dear Diary ✏️ 

      "April 4th, 1984." So begins Winston Smith's first diary entry in the George Orwell novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four.

       

      Of course, this dystopian tale isn't the only one to involve diary entries. Bridget Jones's Diary, Gilead, The Yellow Wallpaper, Dracula, and I Capture the Castle are among a long list of other books told at least in part through diaries or journals.

       

      This week's writing prompts challenge you to write a short story in the epistolary format.


      1. In the form of diary/ journal entries, write about someone who's just decided to take up journaling.
      2. In the form of diary/ journal entries, write about someone on a long-awaited trip.
      3. In the form of diary/ journal entries, write about someone who's just experienced a big "first."
      4. In the form of diary/ journal entries, write about someone who's up late at night because they're having trouble sleeping.
      5. In the form of diary/ journal entries, write a story that provides glimpses into a person's life at different ages.

      Theme:  Spring in Your Step 🌸

      In the Northern Hemisphere, the first day of spring began on March 19th. The changing of seasons often brings about a renewed sense of motivation (hence "spring cleaning") and creativity. Indeed, many poems have been written about spring — such as Emily Dickinson's "A Light Exists in Spring" — and authors have long been inspired by the season:

      "That is one good thing about this world... There are always sure to be more springs." — L.M. Montgomery

      This week, we're also inspired by spring, and so are our prompts.


      1. Before bed, you put your clock ahead one hour for daylight saving time. When you wake up, you realize you've gone forward a lot more than one hour.

      2. Write a story that takes place at a spring dance.

      3. You made a promise to yourself you'd finally do it on the first day of spring. Today was the day.

      4. Write a story about someone who finds something interesting peeking out from a melting snowbank.

      5. Write a story about someone walking through a park on a spring evening, told only through internal monologue.
