+364 Hey teachers... want to bring out the writers in us? Then how about give us some better prompts! I'd like to write about how Chase and Jennifer's relationship will never work out because Chase is "ready for broader sexual experiences" and Jennifer is... Catholic. Hell that's a much better prompt than Chinese poetry, amirite?

I hate teachers who use prompts like, "How was your weekend/summer?" Really? Out of all the terrible cliché writing prompts out there, you choose the one at the very top? These teachers, I swear. No sense of adventure, no creativity at all.

Whenever I get one of those, I just write about a prompt I had to do. Most of them go like this: Over the weekend, I had to do a prompt and it was boring! I had to write about what I was going to do over the weekend. Since I was writing this during the weekend, I decided to make this about the paper that I was writing. Then I describe all the parts of a prompt.

I got "Describe a day at the beach" once. I facedpalmed, but then I wrote about how a giant jellyfish attacked. You can still make it creative, but it better prompts would be SOOOO much better.

My English teacher wrecks. He gives us great prompts that let us explore our inner psychologists.

I always twist around the meaning of the words in the title/prompt to make it more interesting, or pick the miscellaneous option if it's there, or make something insane happen in the story. :)

My teacher gave us pictures and told us to write based off of that. I wrote about a woman who made weapons even though it wasn't socially accepted where she lived. Then the government broke into her house and arrested her. My teacher said that she thinks I got the wrong idea from the prompt. How is that even possible? My eight grade teacher only made us write like five times that whole year. One of the prompts was to write about a character named Dot, but don't use any letters with dots in them (lowercase I's and J's) He made us write a fairytale in another character's point of view. He also made us write a story with an exposition, rising action, yadayadayada, in only ten sentences. Those were pretty cool.
