SoCreate - SoCreate Screenwriting Software’s Weekly Writing Challenge

Looking for a fun and engaging way to spark your creativity as a writer without worrying about formatting? SoCreate's weekly writing challenges could be the solution you need. Each week, we offer a new writing prompt designed to exercise your imagination and generate new ideas for your writing.

For example, this week's prompt challenges you to write a scene where Dianna and Bill are on a first date in a fancy restaurant, but nothing seems to be going right for them. You get to decide what goes wrong for each of them while they attempt to order dinner with their server.

With SoCreate's unique character and location imagery tools, you can easily visualize the scene and let your creativity flow without worrying about formatting.

Writing Prompt

Location: INT – Fancy Restaurant – Night
Characters: Dianna; Bill
Scene Description: A crowded restaurant with chandeliers, white tablecloths, and red carpet. Dianna (73) and Bill (75) sit across from each other.
Prompt: Dianna and Bill are on a first date, and nothing seems to be going right. Write a scene where something goes terribly wrong for each of them while they attempt to order dinner with their server.

Extra Credit: Try using SoCreate's Dialogue Direction feature to specify how your characters deliver their lines of dialogue. For example: Dianna might be frustrated as she says something, and Bill might start crying. Include these expressions in Dialogue Direction and watch your character's faces change to express the sentiment!
