Creative Tips!

Starting last week, we have Creative Tips!
Many people say it's hard to write stories for the Weekly Short-Short because the words are so strange.
So, here are a few ways to spark your imagination.

Feel free to use them as a reference, or do the exact opposite!
Last week, the theme was about different ways to choose a subject.
This time, let's look at how to dig deeper into words!

Nocturnal Blackboard Eraser

1. Nocturnal
　　Let's list words that seem related.
　　　 Moon, stars, owl, bat, flashlight
　　　Darkness, midnight, midnight snack, neon, pajamas

2. Things related to a blackboard eraser
　　Similarly, let's list words that seem related.
　　　Chalk dust, cleaner, the sound of clapping them together,
　　　Daily duty student, dust particles, blackboard groove, sponge, pure white hands

3. Try combining these keywords into a scenario where a story might happen
　　　Midnight snack x Daily duty student ->
　　　　To make the next day's duty student happy, the blackboard eraser eats something every night... what is it?
　　　
　　　Bat x Sponge ->
　　　　A bat with one wing made of a sponge lived in a cave. What he does during the day is erase blackboards. Why...?

No matter which setting you choose, the seasoning you add will turn it into a unique story. Please try out various ideas!
