STORY STARTER
Inspired by Kail Cleo
Create a story by writing multiple diary entries from your character (or multiple characters intertwined).
Try to make each entry build from the last to add to the storyline. If you switch perspective, make it clear that it's someone else's journal.
Dead but not Forgotten
Celia’s journal entry for March 2nd, 1932:
Dear journal, I believe today may just be another day. I’m turning 15 but it doesn’t feel special. Matthew hasn’t even laid an eye on me. I’m starting to give up hope. Maybe he doesn’t like me back, wouldn’t that be terrible! He doesn’t seem like a great person to date anyways, right?
Matthew’s journal entry for March 2nd, 1933:
Celia, oh Celia. Todays your 16th birthday. Or it would’ve been if the crash never happened. I miss you. I’ve fancied you for years now, you’ve always been so ravishing. The Great Depression has kept me in a depression but oh Celia, I do dearly miss you. The sight of your eyes as green as emerald. The smell of your heavy, rich perfume that reeks of a flower meadow. The touch of your hand when I accidentally graze it. I’m rabid for you my darling, and I will never move on.
