A belated Merry Christmas in July to all of my Southern Hemisphere readers. Here’s a new batch of writing prompts for all of you to enjoy.
- Cross the medicine man, and he’ll curse you with disease. What kind of symptoms do the stricken suffer from? Bonus points if the disease isn’t fatal.
- The kingdom of the dead has billions of citizens. So it must have one heck of a bureaucracy. How is working a desk job within the guts of this bureaucracy an eternal punishment in its own right?
- “I shall grant you your deepest desires. I only ask for a very simple thing in return.” A certain number of years from the recipient’s life.
- Set this story in an age before computers and the internet. Why must the town library be closed down? What happens to all of its books?
- Write about the founding of a new nation.
If you use any of these prompts, please share your story or a link to your story in the comments below.
