Friday Christian Writing Prompt - Bible Character

Friday Five Minute Exercise has run its course. I've given you nearly 100 prompts to help you get your Friday started.

From now until I run out of prompts, I'm going to give you Christian Writing Prompts. We'll see how that goes. If you don't like them, don't do them. If they don't fit it in with what we're trying to do here, let me know and I'll work on something else.

Until then, Fridays will be known as Friday Christian Writing Prompt.

Pick a character in the Bible and describe his/her day. What here his/her struggles, joys, frustrations, etc. Write at least 500 words. Can you make a story out of this?

What do you think? Is there a character in the Bible that you can find to describe their day? Can you uncover their struggles, joys and frustrations? Do you think you can make it 500 words in length? Do you think you can turn it into a story? Why or Why not?



P.S. Once these prompts are completed, we'll work on more prompts. Send in your suggestions about what kinds of prompts to write about and we'll add them to the list.

Friday Five Minute Exercise - Something You Are Angry About

1. Set your clocks/timers for Five (5) Minutes.

2. Write about Something You Are Angry About. Once your anger is poured onto the page, take a break. Approach the same subject and now write and inspirational piece that embarks on change fueled from that particular anger. For example, if you are angry about the injustice of inadequate resources for women, you would write the first piece, spewing every frustration you have about the subject. Your second piece would focus on the inspirational view, changes you would make as a result of the anger. Be creative.

Get into as much detail as you can for the next five minutes.

3. Ready?

4. Go.

5. Finished? Review and be amazed.

I hope you had fun. Come back next Friday for a new writing prompt.
