Two strangers meet on a train

You're on a train. The carriage is pretty packed so you take a seat next to a stranger. What happens next? Who is this stranger? What will happen between now and when you need to get off the train?

Write a short story or poem based off this small interaction on a train.

Write a book or film review to a pen pal

Write a letter to someone you know about the most recent book or film you watched. You could focus on one particular aspect or tell them about your overall thoughts - it is completely up to you!

Even if the book/movie was a bad one, engaging with it in a fun, relaxed way can help you think about different ideas at work, which in turn can be useful in your own writing!
