SoCreate Screenwriting Software’s Weekly Writing Challenge – Week 17

Are you seeking a spark for your creative writing process? Your search ends with SoCreate's weekly writing challenges! Each week, SoCreate offers a unique writing prompt aimed at encouraging writers to broaden their creative horizons and explore new concepts.

This week's exercise transports us to a library with characters Alejandra and a mysterious stranger. Alejandra is leisurely browsing her favorite genre of books - fake memoirs - in aisle E of the library, a guilty pleasure of hers. Today, unlike other days, she notices a dark-haired stranger engrossed in a book she just returned.

Writing Challenge

  • Location: INT – Library – Afternoon

  • Characters: Alejandra; a stranger at the library

  • Scene Description: Alejandra slowly walks aisle E of books at the library; it’s where she finds her favorite genre of books – fake memoirs – a guilty pleasure. Unlike other days, today she sees someone in this aisle – a dark-haired stranger scanning the pages of a book she just returned.

  • Prompt: Alejandra is curious about this stranger whose taste in fake memoirs seems an eerie coincidence. Write a scene where she questions him but also has an internal point-of-view conversation that no one can hear but the audience.

Extra Credit: Change the title of your story rather than using the title automatically generated for you. To do this, simply click the three-dot menu icon in the green title card in the upper left-hand corner of your screen. From there, click 'Edit Story Settings' to type in a title of your own. Here, you can also edit your story's type, add an optional story description, and adjust writing credits.

 Complete the Exercise

With SoCreate's innovative tools, you can effortlessly visualize the scene and characters, allowing you to focus on your writing without worrying about formatting. With one click of the export/preview button, SoCreate outputs a perfectly formatted screenplay to meet industry standards. Additionally, you can easily access previous exercises and expand on them to create more extensive narratives, right from your SoCreate dashboard!

By dedicating time each week to these creative exercises, you can refine your writing abilities, cultivate your unique voice, and potentially discover new genres and writing projects that you hadn't considered before. So, why wait? Embark on this week's exercise and see where your creativity leads you!
