Now onto the challenges:
CHALLENGE 1:
Think about a story you have read in the past, it can be any story and rewrite it in your own words, if it is a child's story make it more adult/mature, but just make it your own version of what happened.
If you didn't like the ending, change it, you can even switch up the characters a little or add in more characters. PUT BOOK AND AUTHOR IN AUTHOR NOTES.
CHALLENGE 2:
Make a nonsense poem, just as long as it doesn't make sense but still be poetic about it. Just have fun with it. It can be bizarre, scary, funny, or just completely out there.
Examples could be a wild or crazy dream you had, maybe ideas in the past, or philosophies.
(It doesn't have to be any of those things in the examples just wanted to give you ideas for it.)
CHALLENGE 3:
Write about anything strange or bizarre that has happened to you examples could be a weird phone call you've had, a creepy stranger you've met in the past, or just maybe situations you have heard about....

I like those titles. Very lovely. I always have such a hard time coming up with stuff for prompts though! But challenges are good, I suppose . . .

Well yeah but the thing with titles is they can allow your muse to run wild, there are many ways and different versions you can take with a title, or the challenges as well, that is why I put the challenges in there, just in case I got a few people who don't like to write to titles as prompts.
If you decide I shall look forward to reading your stuff.
