Novel Kicks Fiction Friday: Halloween
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: Halloween
Your character wakes up on the morning of Halloween and suddenly finds themselves surrounded by their fears.
It could be that they are afraid of clowns? Spiders? Vampires? Fire? A room full of strangers?
Write a piece chronicling a part of their day and how they rid themselves of the problem?
Have fun and Happy Halloween.

Novel Kicks Writing Room: Interactive Fiction
Welcome back to the Novel Kicks Writing Room.
Today’s exercise is a fun and interesting one (I hope).
I love the choose your own adventure stories. Do you fancy creating your own? Well, here is your chance.
Pick one of the following fairytales –
Little Red Riding Hood
Hansel and Gretel
Three Little Pigs
Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Little Red Riding Hood begins the walk to her Grandmother’s house. She reaches a crossroads:

Today’s prompt: Traitor and Faithful.
As Celebrity Traitors has been popular over the last few weeks, I thought it would be fun to put our own spin on it.
Place all of your characters from your current WIP into a castle and place them in a gameshow style situation. Who would be faithful and who not so much?
If you’d prefer to pick a set of characters from another piece of fiction, that’s fine too.

Today’s prompt: Woken in a daze.
Your character wakes up in a room that doesn’t feel familiar.
However, going by the pictures on the walls, this seems to be where they live. They shout for someone, anyone to hear them but the home and the surrounding area remain quiet.
After checking the rest of the rooms, they go outside. Their head is hurting and vision is a litle blurred.
