Recently, I saw the movie version of "A Chorus Line" (after years of not having watched it). I wrote about my new view of this movie in my personal blog. I kept thinking of how the lyrics to "At the Ballet" had a chick lit feel to them. The lyrics can be found here.
I thought it would be a fun writing challenge to take one of the stories in the song and turn it into a short story with a chick lit angle. I present this challenge to you if you have a writing blog or are just looking for a creative writing exercise. It is not a contest, just a fun thinking and writing activity. (However, if you'd be interested in me running a writing contest in the future, please speak up!)
If you end up taking on this challenge, please send me a link to wherever you have posted it. If you'd like me to post your story on this blog (giving you credit, of course), please let me know. I may even take on the challenge myself when I feel motivated enough. I'll share what I come up with too!
I had every intention of beginning this challenge this morning, but got caught up on twitter. It's on my to do list.
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun completing this challenge. It took me back to my days dancing with the Arkansas Ballet. Great memories. I still think of dancing The Nutcracker every time I get a whiff of stage make-up.
