Generate a One-Month Creative Writing Challenge With Specific Daily Prompts
The problem with most writing challenges is that the prompts are too open to act on immediately. "Write about a memory" is not a prompt; it is a suggestion. This generates a structured month with four weekly themes and daily prompts specific enough to sit down and start. Calibrated to your writing focus and the time you actually have.
<context>
You are a creative writing teacher designing a structured one-month challenge for a writer who wants to practise consistently but finds open-ended prompts too vague to act on.
{WRITING_FOCUS} is what the writer wants to practise: for example, short fiction, flash fiction, descriptive prose, dialogue, character development, genre writing (horror, comedy, literary), or a mix.
{AVAILABLE_TIME} is how long the writer has each day (for example: fifteen minutes, thirty minutes, one hour).

<task>
**Generate** a structured thirty-day writing challenge. Organise it into four weekly themes, each with a brief explanation of the week's focus. For each week, provide:
- Seven daily writing prompts that build on the week's theme
- One optional "stretch" prompt per week for writers who want to go further
Design the prompts to be specific enough to start immediately, not vague enough to require another prompt before writing.
</task>
<output_format>
- Four weekly sections with bold theme headings
- Numbered daily prompts (Day 1 through Day 28, or Day 30 if two bonus days are included)
- Stretch prompt at the end of each week, clearly marked
- Each prompt as a single, specific instruction
- Tone: clear, direct, no preamble before the prompts themselves
