For this month's Writing Challenge, we're going to write some simple riddles. I believe we've done this activity before on MyEC, though it was quite a while ago!
Your Task
1. Think of a costume that you might wear for Halloween (or a costume party).
2. Use a few short sentences to describe the character or thing. This is a riddle, so don't make it too easy. Try to use at least 10 adjectives.
3. After your description, ask your readers the following question: What Am I?
4. When someone guesses correctly (in the comments), add another riddle to your post (if you want to). If you plan on adding more than one riddle, be sure to number them!
My Example #1
I'm sly and mischievous.
I'm large and furry.
My teeth are pointy and sharp.
I have long claws and I'm always hungry.
I enjoy haunting little pigs and old grandmothers.
What Am I?
Comments
I am lion
Hello Tara,
Here is my response to your current writing challenge:

Yes, I am the Big Bad Wolf! (Actually, my little boy is. I just sent him off to school in his homemade costume. He's toothless right now and not quite as scary as he had hoped!)
Interesting challenge :D
I guess you are a wolf :D
Here is my entry: Costume Party.

I can fly at night,
when the cave is dark.
The spirit of darkness wants my body.
When the King Marcus is away our flocks will come by.
WHO AM I?
vampire or ware wolf
Try to learn more about Halloween. The more you know about it, the easier for you to take this month's writing challenge - not all of our members are familiar with Halloween.
It sounds like fun - another opportunity to practise adjectives.
Answer to Tara's riddle: a bear? I'm thinking of my riddle.
By the way, Happy Halloween to all of those who celebrate it!
