Novel Kicks Fiction Friday: Lucky Day?
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: Lucky Day?
Your character wakes up to find that they are able to grant wishes – one per person who asks for their hearts desire. However, as the number of wishes they grant grows, the newly found genie discovers that luck runs out for someone else each time.
Write about one such case. You can begin the story at any point, from when the person discovers they can grant wishes, or when the luck runs out and any point in between. It’s up to you.
Have fun.

Novel Kicks Writing Room: All The Feels
It’s Wednesday. Welcome to another Novel Kicks Writing Room session.
Today’s writing will focus around emotions.
Listening to a favourite song, reading a great book or watching a compelling film – these are great ways of feeling all the feels.
Do one of the following –
. Pick a favourite song and then a favourite lyric.
. Grab hold of your favourite book and then re-read your favourite scene.
. Think of your favourite movie and think back to an important scene.
Once you’ve done one of these things, think about the emotion it elicits. Then, write a piece where your character is listening/reading/watching the same thing. Do they react differently to you to the film/song/book? Try to write for at least 10 minutes.

Today’s prompt: Musical Days
Your character, who is usually someone who keeps to themselves, hates music and loves quiet, finds that when they wake up, they are singing. Everyone around them is singing and there is a full orchestral backing too.
Write about the day as your character tries to find out what has occurred? Who do they meet along the way?
Have fun!
by Novel Kicks Writing Room: Show, Don’t Tell
Welcome to the Novel Kicks Writing Room.
Today, the exercise is going to be focusing on showing, not telling. With your writing, you want to try and be as sensory as you can to pull the reader into your story.
The scene: your character is drunk and they’ve just arrived back at what they think is their home. Write a passage about what happens without once saying they are drunk.
What are they feeling?
What can they hear?
What can they touch?
What can they see?
What are they tasting?
Set a timer for 10 minutes. Have fun.
How did you find that exercise?
