Writing Challenge: Create a Story from a Scene You’ve Seen or Read

---

Use a moment from a movie, show, book, or drama and give it your own twist

---

Have you ever watched a scene or read a chapter that stuck with you—not just for how it played out, but because of what it could’ve been if you wrote it yourself?

This week’s writing challenge is all about that what if.

✨ Your Writing Challenge:

Choose a scene or storyline from any movie, show, book, or drama that stood out to you. Then, reimagine it as a completely new story—your way.

You can keep the emotional tone or the core idea, but change the characters, setting, or even the genre. Make it yours.

Example:

I recently watched a Chinese drama with a compelling storyline:

A man suffers from violent manic episodes, especially when people—especially women—try to touch him. He’s withdrawn from society because of a past injury and unpredictable outbursts. But one girl is different. Not only does her presence calm him, she’s the only one who can touch him without triggering an episode. And somehow, she’s the first person able to ease the pain in his injured leg when even doctors failed.

That scene sparked so many questions:
Why her? What’s their connection? Is it fate, magic, or trauma?
Could she be unknowingly using an ability? Is she healing more than just his leg?

Use this or pick your own inspiration.

Maybe you loved a scene where:

• A villain hesitates for the first time.
• A character walks away from love to protect someone.
• A magical moment happens that’s never explained.

Tips to Guide You:

• Change the setting: Take a modern scene and move it to a historical or fantasy world.
• Change the relationship: What if the romantic leads became siblings? Rivals?
• Change the ending: What would’ve happened if the characters made a different choice?
• Add a mystical or emotional twist: Could magic, fate, trauma, or a shared secret explain their bond?

Let the moment that moved you become the spark for your own creative fire.

🔁 Share your take on the scene in your journal, blog, or social media.
📌 Optional: Post a quote or image of your inspiration alongside your story!

Until next time, keep your heart open to stories in everything you see. You never know when one will turn into your next great idea.

🖋️ Happy writing ^_^
