Fantastic Fiction Writing Prompts Week 11: March 12–18
Fiction writing prompts to spark your creativity!
Hello beautiful writers! I know that I am absolutely exhausted today, but if you, like me, are lacking energy, I hope that these prompts will help to invigorate your thoughts!
In honor of St. Patrick's day, I’ve included a couple of luck-themed prompts, though it really has very little to do with Saint Patrick. Maybe next year I’ll be more historically accurate.
Using the Prompts:
If you decide to use these prompts, please add a link to the prompt you used at the end of your story so that other people can find us. You are welcome to submit the resulting story to Fantastic Fiction, or to another publication, just remember to link the prompt!
If you include the topic “Fantastic Prompt Writing” in the stories that come from these prompts I’ll be able to easily find your stories and read them, and I would love to read them! So if you want me to read your story, include that as one of your five topics.
These prompts are meant to be a catalyst for creativity, so if the prompt sparks a story, even if it diverts from the original trajectory of the prompt, I’d love to read it!
Also, while I’m sending out prompts every week, it doesn’t mean there is a deadline for when you submit the prompted story.
Happy Writing!
Prompt One
Your character has an uncharacteristic turn of luck (either good or bad). Is it everything they hoped for? What unintended consequences might there be?
Prompt Two
Leprechauns are not like the stories describe them…
Prompt Three
Stranded at sea in your liferaft, your character must use their wits to survive until rescue comes…
Novel Writing Prompt: Inciting Incident
Something pushes the main character into their journey… what is it? How does your character choose to step outside their comfort zone to get what they want? How do they react to that choice?
