Quote Saturdays: Last Day of Holiday Week

 

Welcome!

We have two exciting prompts for you today! It's Quote Saturday and we have some exciting exercises in store for you. The first exercise we have is for you to select a quote about a holiday that we have listed below and write a short story based on it. Try to keep the story around a single event within 5 to 10 pages.

Here is your quote selection: 

"At Christmas, tea is compulsory. Relatives are optional.”
― Robert Godden

“The darkness of the whole world cannot swallow the glowing of a candle.” —Robert Atlinger

“There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”—C.S. Lewis

For your second exercise, we challenge you to come up with a quote based upon a holiday that takes 
place today and write a short story using that quote as an opening. 

Second Exercise:

Here is the link to the holidays that take place today: Holidays. 

We hope you'll find inspiration in these strange holidays. You have a selection from National Oreo 
Cookie Day to National Sock Monkey Day to Day of the Dude.

Happy writing!
