Hello everyone! :)

With this post we are officially launching the Second Edition of the Creative Writing Challenge!

If you are not aware what Creative Writing Challenge is you could refer back to the first pre-launch post.

The First Challenge's Task #1 was based on a famous creative writing exercise called Triple Seven. It was the sparkle that lit the creative fire. This time we'll get into shape with something called Tony's List.

Before I share the full story, let's quickly recap the main stats we've reached since the last update.

Task #1: Tony's List


Tony is a writer. He lives not far from the local Walmart. Once he was walking in the nearby park when he met his brother Jack. Jack complained that he had forgotten to buy a present for his wife and that day was their anniversary. Jacked asked his brother to go to Walmart and buy some food so that he could get back home to tidy the place and start preparing for his wife's arrival. He decided to cook dinner and the only chance for him to finish on time is to delegate the shopping to his brother. The shopping list was so huge that he had nothing else to do but to create a story so that all the items were combined all together and could be easily memorized.

The shopping list is:

  • Bananas
  • Tomatoes
  • White wine
  • Gone with the Wind - book
  • Greek yogurt
  • Coke
  • Oranges
  • A tasty bone for Charlie (the family's dog)

Your task is to help Tony create the story.

Be as much creative as possible. This is a real technique for remembering stuff called the linking method. The more enticing the story is the higher the chance is for Tony to remember all the items he has to buy. Approach it as a writer and do not write something too simple. Warm up your brain cells and surprise me and the rest of the participants with something both creative and funny. It could be a narrative in past tense for example.

It would be nice if you also put an unique title of your story. Leave Tony's List as a task title only and write your own.

Keep writing,
