Writing Fix: A Left Brained Writing Prompt: Rather Unlikely Encyclopedia Entries

Curated by ACT

After studying encyclopedia entries for structure and writing style, create unlikely encyclopedia articles for things in your life. If you really can't think of any, press the writing prompt generator button to get a few ideas. Do your best to make your writing really sound like the type of writing you'd find in an encyclopedia, even though what you're writing about wouldn't appear in an encyclopedia.
