Wednesday Writing Prompt

Norwegian Tabloids

I still remember the moment. My husband and I were in the checkout line at the grocery store. I was reading the headlines on the magazines when I saw this one, “Constipation Killed the Dinosaurs.” Until then, I don’t think I realized how amazingly creative tabloid writers need to be.

Here’s your assignment: Write a tabloid article, complete with headline, that could appear in your current work-in-progress. If this seems too challenging, grab a headline from an existing tabloid and write your article based on that.

For even more fun … leave your headline in the comment space below!
