CREATIVITY IS THE KEY!
PART 2
These challenges are for those who want to continue to work on writing new ideas and who would like to maintain a continuous creativity flow with your writing. Creativity is defined as the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work; the ability to CREATE.
Creatively writing short films are a great way to get started/or extend the passion in your career as a writer. A good short film can further help you develop your style and vision using story, drama, dialog, and imagery. By completing the first part of our Creative Writing Challenge exercise, you should have produced a different concept and/or theme for each completed short story. Additionally, each completed short story per month should have two different genres.
