Novel Kicks Writing Room: From Three Different Ways
Welcome back to the Novel Kicks Writing Room.
Today’s exercise is about looking at the same event in three different ways.
First, pick one of the following scenarios –
- You’re at a magic convention and you bump into the one person who has made your life a misery.
- You go speed dating but it’s all your previous partners.
- You wake up and all of the colour has disappeared from the world. You go on a quest to find out why.
- Your life is being narrated by a mysterious voice.

Novel Kicks Writing Room: Journal Entries
Hello and welcome back to the Novel Kicks Writing Room.
Today, I thought it would be fun to write a journal entry from the point of view of your main character from your work in progress.
What I thought would be interesting, is if we write three journal entries in total.
The first entry would be based toward the beginning of your story.
The second entry would be based in the middle of your story.
And, you’ve guessed it, the third entry would be from the end of your story.
With each one, focus on what is happening within that story section. Have your character ask themselves questions like –
What is currently going on?
How am I feeling now?
What is my reaction to what is going on?
How have I changed from the first/last entry?
by Novel Kicks Fiction Friday: No Music Allowed
It’s Friday which means it’s time to start writing some fiction.
Fiction Friday is our weekly writing flash fiction prompt.
The aim is to write for a minimum of five minutes and then keep going for as long as you can.
Don’t edit, just write. Once you’re done, you’re welcome to share in the comments but there’s no obligation.
Today’s prompt: No Music Allowed.
Your character, a musician, has woken up from another night where they’ve indulged in something they shouldn’t have. As they try to piece together what happened, they become aware that they can’t hear music.
What happens? Why has this happened?
Have fun!
by Novel Kicks Book Club: The God Of The Woods by Liz Moore
Hello to 2026. Howdy to January.
Why is it that all the other months have up to 31 days but January feels like it drags on for a decade?
I’m hoping that you’re as excited as I am about January’s book pick and that it will help you get through this loooooonnnnng month.
The book we’re reading this month is The God of The Woods by Liz Moore.
I first came across a snippet of this book from the Taylor Swift documentary, The End of an Era on Disney+. Even though I only heard a few lines, it had me hooked.
So, how does our book club work?
If you’re new to our book club, welcome. Anyone can join and it can be at any point in the month. Maybe you’ve already read it and want to talk about it or you’ll be reading along with me?
I’ve posted a question below to start the discussion.
I am looking forward to seeing you there.
