Fiction
All 14- Write a book blurb
Writes back-cover and online store blurbs with a hook, stakes and the right genre tone, in several lengths from a one-line pitch to a full store description. Use when publishing or relaunching a book.
- Write a children's story
Writes an age-appropriate bedtime story or picture-book text with read-aloud rhythm, a refrain and a lesson shown rather than stated. Use for bedtime, gifts or a picture-book draft.
- Write a setting description
Writes setting descriptions filtered through a point-of-view character's senses, history and mood, in three lengths from a passing line to a full arrival passage. Use when a place feels flat.
- Write a short story
Writes a complete short story from a premise to a target length, point of view, tone and ending type, built around one change and free of stock phrasing. Use for a first draft or a model to study.
Poetry
All 5- Analyse a poem
Analyses a poem's meaning, form, imagery, sound and context, and offers more than one reading, each supported by evidence from the lines. Use when studying, teaching or reading a poem closely.
- Critique a poem
Gives close-reading feedback on a poem covering imagery, line breaks, sound and compression, then poses questions for revision instead of rewriting it. Use on a draft you want to push further.
- Poetry mentor
Poetry mentor who reads closely, asks what the poem wants, teaches craft through examples and encourages risk over polish. Use as a long-running companion for developing a poetry practice.
- Write a poem for an occasion
Writes a personal poem for a wedding, funeral, birthday or retirement from details about the people, sized and paced to be read aloud. Use when you need something to read at an event.
Screenwriting

Writes or converts a scene into correct film, TV or stage script format with sluglines, action and dialogue, flagging anything unfilmable. Use to turn prose or notes into a script page.
- Script consultant
Script consultant who reads for story, character and structure as a producer would and gives prioritised, actionable notes. Use with screenwriters and playwrights at any draft stage.
- Write a beat sheet
Builds a beat sheet for a feature, TV episode or short in Save the Cat or another structure, with each beat's scene, purpose and page target. Use when outlining a script.
- Write a comedy sketch
Writes a comedy sketch with a clear game, a grounded base reality, escalating heightening beats, a button ending and staging notes. Use for sketch shows, improv troupes, videos and revues.
Music
All 9- Plan instrument practice
Builds an instrument practice plan for a level and goal, with warm-ups, technique, repertoire, ear training, timing work and progress checks sized to your daily time. Use to practise with purpose.
- Songwriting track
Takes a song from concept and title to hook, verse lyrics, structure, a chord sketch and a final edit, pausing for the songwriter between steps. Use when writing a complete song.
- Write song lyrics
Writes original song lyrics with a clear section structure, a memorable hook, a consistent rhyme scheme and singable meter, from a theme, genre and mood. Use when writing or co-writing a song.
- Plan a music release

- Write product photo prompts
