30 Day Writing Challenge: Camels

Posted by

This may have been the toughest prompt yet from the 30 Day Creative Writing Challenge. I do not have any personal camel stories. And my creative side was just not flaring... Here is a round up of camel themed headlines from the last few days and decades.



  1. Camels and Ostriches Invade Tioga
  2. Obama's worth in camels
  3. Hump in sales as Sydney gets camel burgers
  4. Camel finds home in McDowell County
  5. Egypt presidency race haunted by tit-for-tat 'Camel Battle' claims
  6. Camel Spotted in Russian Traffic
  7. Genetically modified camels to act like pharmacies
  8. Camel Fights In Shadows Again Tonight
  9. Designer Of Sopwith Camel Dies At 101
  10. Camel Ride Tops Trudeau's Agenda
  11. I'd Go To War For A Camel
  12. Camel and ostrich racing at the Meadowlands
  13. Animals of the zoo: Bactrian camel
  14. Camels bow to Penticton
  15. Camels’ trek into Yuma history to be told at library
  16. Rattled: Teaching with pigs, camels, peas and E.T.




Mike and Nicky over at We Work for Cheese have forced invited us to participate in this 30 Day Creative Writing Challenge . Today is Day 19, the theme is Camels.

    I hadn't realized that camels made the headlines that much ;)

      They rarely do and when they do it's usually related to muggings.

    I'm not sure I've seen any of those headlines. But I like all of them.

      Some are recent. Others go back a couple decades.

    It's hard to write about camels when it isn't even hump day.

    "Today in the news, Camels..."

    I can imagine some of the great anchormen over time doing that. Haha. Nice post!

    Interesting headlines. Like Babs, who knew camels made the news that often. Nice job with a tough prompt.

    I initially read this: Rattled: Teaching with pigs, camels, peas and E.T.
    As This: Rattled: Teaching pigs and camels to pee.

    LOLOLOL!

      You can take a camel to water, but you can't teach him to pee.
