I absolutely love to write. Something that I did while in creative writing in high school was a weekly writing prompt challenge. We were given prompts using single sentences, ideas, or pictures. We then had the weekend to work on something to present to the club the following week. To keep my mind sharp, I have decided to present this to my readers. I would love for you to join in and submit your works in the comments!
Writing Prompt
The idea for this weekend is as follows:
Key Notes:
- Someone has a grudge to settle
- Unlikely friendships
- Protagonist (the peasant girl) is a kind anti-villain
- Secondary character is a charlatan
Using Prompts
Before getting started, let’s clarify how to use these writing prompts. The notes and the AI picture I generate are simply to jump start your imagination and creativity. Feel free to deviate some in whatever direction your mind goes. The goal is to get writing and not overthink.
What I’m Looking For
With this prompt, I’m looking for a fantasy fiction short story that brings together two unlikely people. The protagonist, or the main character, should be a peasant girl. This could be from any era, as it is referring to someone of low class or low income. Your secondary character should be a charlatan, a fraud. They create a unique friendship after a blessing is bestowed upon the girl. Where you go from there is completely up to you.
I will post my short story on Sunday and look forward to reading your comments! If you wish to post your short story on another writing platform, be sure to include the link in your comment for me to read.
