Creative Writing Topics

Many people think they have to be literary geniuses to write creatively, but that is not so. Creative writing topics can be as simple as what you did that day, a phone call you just received, a dream you had last night, or the music you just played. Creative writing topics can be found anywhere, and the only limits to what you write are the limitations you consciously and unconsciously place on yourself. Randomly throw some words onto paper. Donkey. Green. Slinky. Multiple Sclerosis.

There, you just wrote creative writing topics, except you didn't. I did.

Now try it yourself. See? You did it!...I'm assuming. But don't stop there! Get a permanent marker and write creative writing topics on your wall. On your sibling's forehead. On a complete stranger. Who cares, you're a future starlit author! They should be paying you to deface public property and public persons. It is your duty as a member of a spurious authorship! You're important! Teach them of your importance!

So now you're in jail. That's a creative writing topic too. Go with it! Use your shiv and scratch on the blood-blemished walls of justice, leave your mark! It is your destiny! Follow everything I say. I know what I'm doing, I've been to Greece. I'm lying. But I've seen Greek people, and I like Greek food, and I have friends who snapped Greece vacation shots of a rounded man taking in mouthfuls of polenta. Polenta is Italian. But Greek people aren't racist, they're just financially irresponsible, with a massive debt-to-gross domestic product ratio that may ultimately lead to no more polenta. "But I love polenta," said the portly man, in a rumblish bellow heard around the world.

And who doesn't?

The point is, polenta was made with starches found in farro, chestnut flour, millet, spelt, or chickpeas until the introduction of corn in the late 15th century. You can take that to the bank.

And if you could, try to cash it in for Euros, and save a failing country.
