Fiction Friday
Friday 18th April 2014.
Fiction Friday is our weekly prompt where the internal editor is asked to step out. We post a prompt. Use it as inspiration to write for a minimum of five minutes and then keep going for as long as you like. Once you’ve finished, post in the comments below. Don’t edit, just post.
Today’s prompt: Take a story you love. Maybe one you liked as a child or a snippet of a book you’ve read recently. Swap all the characters around. Make the hero the sidekick and the villain the hero? Maybe the adult who offers advice is the nervous and unknowing character? What if the hero’s best friend is actually the villain? Have a go at swapping everyone around.
by I’m Laura. I started Novel Kicks in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.
I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
