From time to time, I’ll be posting writing exercises here for anyone who visits and wants to put pen to paper themselves. Eventually, I might put them all together in a separate site but, for the time being, you’ll find the exercises in this blog.

For today’s exercise, take a well-known children’s story or fairy tale – such as Goldilocks & The Three Bears – and give it a modern day twist. Perhaps the bears live in a bad area and Goldilocks is just the latest in a series of break-ins. Or maybe Goldilocks was injured and looking for help when she found the bears’ cottage. It’s up to you.

Be as creative as you can with the characters and plot of your chosen traditional story. Who knows, you may come up with an idea you could adapt for a story of your own.

Good luck!
