CREATIVE WRITING TASKS
Here are some writing tasks for you to choose. Some are creative and others descriptive, drawing upon personal memories or personal reflections. Some involve a bit of research on the internet prior to writing. Some are a bit more philosophical. In any case, remember that they needn't be long! 10-15 lines... Or more if you want. How much you enjoy writing it is what counts.
