SoCreate Screenwriting Software’s Weekly Writing Challenge – Week 20

Are you a writer looking for a creative spark to ignite your imagination? Look no further! SoCreate's weekly writing challenges are designed to stimulate your creativity and generate fresh ideas for your writing.

This week's challenge takes us into the intimate setting of Jodie's kitchen, where Jodie and Ken are sharing a quiet moment. Jodie, battling cancer, decides to seize the day and live her dreams. She reveals her bucket list to Ken, which includes three surprising goals she wants to achieve before her illness progresses further.
