      For some reason random ideas are flooding my brain at the moment. I actually came up with this one a few weeks ago but I didn’t know if anyone would be interested in it or not. I guess I’ll give it a shot though.
      <p style=”text-align: left;”>So we all have those stories that we started so long ago and never finished, and if we were to go and read them today we would most likely consider them as our “worst story”.</p>
      My idea (or challenge in a way) is for you to go back to that “worst story” and do what you haven’t done to it. If it’s only half written, finish it. If it’s complete but it’s just bad, edit it and make it good. (Keep in mind that it’s probably not as bad as what you probably think ;))

      I don’t know if anyone would want to do this one, my ideas usually aren’t the best, but if anyone does decide to, I’d love to hear about it!

      I think I’m going to finish and edit my first story. It’s about an egyptian slave that commits a crime and has to flee before he gets caught. (That part doesn’t sound that bad, but just wait, it gets really weird XD) After he makes it to a desert, he finds a baby girl and takes her in, and raises her while trying not to get caught.

      Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you ever know who would love the person you hide.

              Well, my worst story was about a girl who tried to turn the whole world into tomatoes by squirting them with tomato juice…

              I don’t really know how to fix that. 😛

                Sounds very interesting XD

                That could make an excellent comedy 😉

                  Yeah, I wrote this one when I was like 10. Unfortunately, I can’t find the story anywhere, but I remember having a whole series planned out. I thought these were going to make me famous!

                      @kb-writer, wow, that is hilarious! Sounds like it could have been one of those “so bad it’s awesome” stories.

                        My six year old son wrote (dictated) a story featuring a princess whose name was A Pearl! A Pearl! A Pearl!
