JWC Daily Team 2025

Welcome! If you are not on the daily team for the 2025 session of JWC, I ask that you please leave as if you are planning to be in JWC, there will be a lot of spoilers. It's also just not polite to look over other's stuff, so remember to be respectful and do the right thing <3

Without further ado, here we are! This is where we'll be planning all the dailies and weeklies of camp. This session, this committee is led by me, Em! I cannot wait to get started <3

Buckle up, because we have a lot of work to get done!

For the weekly I'll work on January 11th-17th section one

daily ideas

#1
come up with a survival plan for if there was every a zombie apocalypse. Now write a story about you or some other character trying to follow that plan.

#2
crossovers. Write about if two of your favorite characters met and about one of the mishaps they have or a conversation between them.

#5

thank you dalia! adding that to the daily ideas <3

Here’s some of my ideas (you’ll probably notice a pattern lol)

1.1 JRR Tolkien Day (Jan 3): Write a 300 word story about WWI or the Roaring Twenties.
1.2 JRR Tolkien Day (Jan 5): Reading through The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, it becomes clear that Tolkien loves to incorporate original songs that complement the world of Middle Earth. Write a 150 (or 200?) word song to fit in another world. It can be your own world, or someone else’s (like Middle Earth for example).

2. National Bird Day (Jan 5). Ever wonder what birds are always singing about? Write a 200 word poem (it can be prose ;) of a bird’s song. (It can be a good morning, good night, or about the rain).

3. Remember the days of play pretend, with dolls, Lego, or pirate ships? Think back to an imaginary world you made (or make one up), and write a 300-word story about a character in that world.

I’ll add more later :)

Also I think I can do the weekly 18-24, part 3

Hi! For the weekly, I’ll do Section 2 of the January 11th-17th!

And here’s a few daily ideas (I’m short on time but will finish later <3)

#1- (January 2nd) National science fiction day! Write a science fiction story
#2- Write about characters who know they’re trapped in a story… and don’t want to be

alright out of this list of dailies each person needs to choose 3 to write a final draft for:

- come up with a survival plan for if there was every a zombie apocalypse. Now write a story about you or some other character trying to follow that plan.

- Remember the days of play pretend, with dolls, Lego, or pirate ships? Think back to an imaginary world you made (or make one up), and write a 300-word story about a character in that world.

- Write about characters who know they’re trapped in a story… and don’t want to be

- Write a 300 word story about WWI or the Roaring Twenties.

- crossovers. Write about if two of your favorite fictional characters met and about one of the mishaps they have or a conversation between them.

- write a recipe for a concept or idea like happiness or success. use things like ingredients and what amounts and orders they would be added in as well as instructions for baking and serving.

- (January 2nd) National science fiction day! Write a science fiction story

- National Bird Day (Jan 5). Ever wonder what birds are always singing about? Write a 200 word poem (it can be prose of a bird’s song. (It can be a good morning, good night, or about the rain). (add more to this and finalize it more)

- write a story from the perspective of an animal such as a cat, bird, or dog.

if you have not yet suggested dailies, please do so! also state here in the forum what dailies you're going to do before starting to write them <3

write a recipe for a concept or idea like happiness or success. use things like ingredients and what amounts and orders they would be added in as well as instructions for baking and serving.

write a story from the perspective of an animal such as a cat, bird, or dog.

Write about characters who know they’re trapped in a story… and don’t want to be

these are the ones that i will do

I will do these!

January 2nd) National science fiction day! Write a science fiction story

come up with a survival plan for if there was every a zombie apocalypse. Now write a story about you or some other character trying to follow that plan.

National Bird Day (Jan 5). Ever wonder what birds are always singing about? Write a 200 word poem (it can be prose of a bird’s song. (It can be a good morning, good night, or about the rain). (add more to this and finalize it more)

Meow! Bark! Chirp! Haven't you always wondered what’s going on in an animal's brain? Animals are fascinating and how they behave and communicate with one another is quite interesting as well. Today you get to write about yourself from the perspective of an animal. Pick anything from a random frog on a windowsill to a blue whale swimming through the depths of the ocean. Write a 450 word narrative for 300 points. Provide proof for an extra 100 points. Now get to it!

Hey, can anybody get me out of here? I'm kinda tired of being stuck in this book. I just want to get back home. For this daily write about a character that knows they are trapped in a story. But the catch is that they don't want to be there. Write a 350 word story for 200 points. Provide proof in the comments for 100 extra points. Good luck!

A cup of hard work and a teaspoon of dedication as well as a dash of motivation. These are some of the ingredients for the recipe to success. Now go and write a 150 word recipe for a concept or idea such as happiness or true love. Include things like ingredients, amounts, and orders. Instructions for baking and serving should also be included. You get 200 points for this daily and an extra 100 for proof.

thank you dalia! a reminder to everyone else to finish their dailies that they chose soon!

What's that… oh! It's just the pink sky! From Star Wars to The Martian, science fiction writing has captured the imaginations of many. What better way to celebrate that than on National Science Fiction Day? That's right, it's time to travel to other universes- from space academies to exploring other planets, there is something in this genre for everybody. For this daily write xxx words of any type of science fiction story for xxx points.

If there was a zombie apocalypse… would you be prepared? Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore, since today we're going to be taking care of writing out a plan to survive the apocalypse. First, write a plan about how you would survive the zombie apocalypse. Then, write xxx words of yourself or a fictional character attempting to follow that plan for xxx words. Best of luck, and don't get zombie-fied ;D

Hear that chirping outside? Yup- it's the birds! Ever wonder what they're singing about: lost love, the morning, the promise of food? Well, today you get to answer that question for yourself. Write a xxx word poem about what makes those birds outside sing for xxx points!
