Today’s Prompt: Walking into a Snowglobe.
Your character is not the biggest fan of Christmas. Why this is the case is up to you. Maybe they’ve never liked it? Maybe they have a bad memory they don’t want to face?
One day, a random person hands them a small snowglobe with the North Pole inside. After trying to return it, they end up having to take it home.
They discover the scene inside the snowglobe starts to move. Your character looks closer and then is mysteriously pulled into the scene where things are very real.
Write about their time there. What do they find?
This can be as festive as you like.
Have fun.

They go to school. Write about a school day in their life that changed everything – they are staring in the christmas show maybe? What do they do differently? Is there something that they misremebered?
Have fun.
by Novel Kicks Writing Room: Inserting Prompt Sentences
Welcome back to the Novel Kicks Writing Room.
For the last Writing Room of November, I have a fun exercise (at least I hope you find it fun.)
The task is to write a story using the prompt sentences below. There’s a twist though. Starting with the first sentence to begin with, set a timer for two minutes. Once that’s done, use the next prompt sentence in your story and set the alarm for another two minutes and so on, continuing the story as you go until you’ve used all the prompt sentences.
For example, these two sentences-
‘I thought I’d cracked the case’ and ‘whatever happens, I can’t let the ducks in.’
I thought I’d finally cracked the case…… write, taking the story wherever you’re inspired to take it whilst setting the timer, once the timer goes off, use ‘whatever happens, I can’t let the ducks in,’ continuing the story yourself for two minutes and so on. Make sense?
So, your prompts are –
‘Oh for goodness sake, I told you to shut the door.’
