Write from the perspective of a character under the influence of alcohol. Do they feel tipsy, angry, extremely happy? Do they make any rash decisions they normally wouldn’t? Where are they and who do they interact with?

Write about a party that nobody shows up to. What are their excuses? How does the host feel? Do they sulk around or get up to do something better? Maybe they are angry and seek revenge. Perhaps they cry to their cat. Be creative.

Write about a world where cartoons and humans coexist. Ignore the logical difficulties, and just be silly. What previously known characters do we interact with? Do they have any special abilities? For example, cartoon Spiderman can shoot webs. How do humans react to the talking animal cartoons?
Write about a café. What are the employees like? Who dines there? Describe the atmosphere. Is the place cluttered and crowded, or empty and slow? How does it change from day to night? What conflicts arise? Does the place catch on fire? Make it interesting.
Write about the universe. Try to capture it as a whole: all of the galaxies, planets, stars, and moons. Feel free to make up things. Describe colors and lifeforms. What is in the vast unknown?
Write about a trip to the movies. Describe the area using the fives senses: what does the place look like, what noises come from the crowd, how does the popcorn taste, are the seats comfortable, and what does the room smell of? Try to think of potential conflicts that could occur to someone before, during, or after the movie.
