Novel Kicks Writing Room: Freewriting and Prompts

Hello everyone and welcome to the first Novel Kicks Writing Room of 2025.

I thought we could start off with some free writing.

Using one of the prompts below, write a story. The word count is up to you but try and aim for at least 500 words. If you wanted to add an extra challenge, set a timer for 10 minutes.

I’ve also included some random words below you could try and include if you wish to.

A stranger on a bus tells you that in order to save someone you love, you must complete challenges. He then holds out an envelope and says, once you accept this, there is no going back but if you don’t a loved one will die.

You are kidnapped and forced to join a circus.

You swap places with your favourite celebrity. Write a day in the life. What consequences come from living their life and them living yours?

You wake up with a superpower. Are you good or bad?

 

Words you could try and add:

Balloon

Ego

Lecture

Moral

Worthy

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.
