I’ve been thinking about the next Joe User Writers Club Challenge. I am going to appropriate an idea of KellyW’s to make this suggestion: how about rewriting a classic fairy tale. You could rewrite your favourite, maybe inserting yourself into the tale or rewriting to make it end differently or modernising the story to suit the sensibilities of today.
You could turn a tragedy into a comedy or vice versa. Maybe Ali Baba’s 40 Thieves could be changed to be politicians or maybe any number of Princess’ could be portrayed as bad tempered Divas instead. Who knows what your imagination might respond with. Hopefully this will spur some of you who have not written anything for JUWC before to have a go and be part of the fun. Good luck with it and remember the number one rule: have fun.
