Novel Kicks Writing Room – Reflections in Conversations. 

Reflections in Conversations. 

Happy Wednesday everyone.

What I thought we could do today is write a conversation in two parts.

The situation of your story is as follows – your character is a clown and has just been fired. They’ve been told that the upcoming performance is their last one. In the first conversation you write, your character is having a conversation with another colleague just after they’ve been fired.

Then write the conversation again but the clown is alone. He is looking into the mirror as he’s putting on his make-up. He is talking to his reflection.

How different are the two conversations? Would the clown be saying something different to his colleague than he would to his reflection?

Write up to 500 words per conversation.

If you feel like sharing your writing, please do post in the comments below.

Have fun.

Once this object is built, the character realises it has magical powers. Word soon spreads as they continue to create objects that then become magical. They don’t know how they are managing it but as they are now successful, they don’t want to stop.

Novel Kicks Writing Room: The Art of Letter Writing

The art of writing letters is so wonderful. 

I am such a fan of writing letters and fascinated in what can be said and the emotion that can be conveyed – how handwriting your thoughts and feelings to someone and the symbolism that represents.

So, what is the task today I hear you ask?

Writing a letter of course.

The letter is from the point of view of either the main character of a current work in progress or a favourite fictional character. The recipient is you.

What would your character say to you? What would they want to convey? Is there something about them that they want to tell you?

Novel Kicks Writing Room: Switching

Today, I wanted to focus on a writing prompt with a bit of a twist.

Your word target is a minimum of 1000 words.

Begin your story using the prompt and one of the genres below. It doesn’t matter which one you start with.

Romance

Horror

Sci-fi

Novel Kicks Writing Room: Can Anyone See Me?

Happy Wednesday everyone.

For today’s writing room, I thought it would be fun to do a bit of free writing today but with a few additions.

Your prompt is that your character realises they have gained the ability to be invisible at will.

What do they do first? What are the consequences.

Also, just to add to the challenge, try adding these words –

Elephant, nightmare, market, eccentric, bibble. cattywampus.

Have fun with it and I look forward to hoping seeing your writing in the comments below if you feel up to sharing.

Novel Kicks Writing Room: Prose to a Script

Today, we are looking at changing a piece of prose to a script.

I feel that it’s good to change things up every so often.

I don’t know about you but, when I am writing, I imagine everything as though I am watching a movie. I found this helps.

Take a passage from something you’ve written and convert it into a script. What would you add/take out? What would the background look like? Would you include music? Continue reading

Novel Kicks Writing Room: Ride Transportation

Today is a straight forward writing prompt. Try and write from a third person narrative and include more than two characters.

Your character is visiting a theme park. One of the rides is styled like an old hotel which has had a mysterious thing happen to it.

The ride is functioning normally but, when you’re in the middle of the ride, there is a bolt of lightening. There is such a loud crash, you close your eyes.

When you open them, you find that the hotel environment looks new, you’re dressed differently as is everyone around you.

You’re in the lobby and it’s not long before you realise that you’re no longer experiencing the ride, you’re standing in a hotel in a famous city in the 50s.

Novel Kicks Writing Room: Making a List

Today, we are going to be making a list.

If you’re anything like me, you love a list. I feel more in control if I have a to-do list for example. Whether I complete that is another matter. Haha.

As writers, we can also benefit from having lists and that is the task today.

Grab your writers notebook and pick three of lists below. Make a list for each. Then, if you feel like doing so/are inspired, begin a story to include some of the things from your list. Begin with this first line – ‘I didn’t expect that to happen.’

List ideas:

What 10 things would you grab if your house was on fire?

Which five things could you never forgive?

List five of the worst presents you’ve ever received.

List five places you’d love to go on holiday.

List five situations you’d never like to find yourself in?

List five people who have had an influence on your life.

Novel Kicks Writing Room: Micro Fiction

For today’s writing room, I thought we could write some micro fiction. 

Short stories are deceptively hard to write, micro fictions even more so.

Pick three out of the following genres – gothic, romance, horror, sci-fi, historic, young adult.

Now, write a 6 word short story, a 50 word short story and a 100 word short story assigning one of the genres you’ve picked to each one.

For example, I’ve chosen gothic to the 6 word short story:

Midnight struck; she’s now lost forever.

Let me know how you get on in the comments below and as always, if you feel brave enough to post your work, I’d love to read it.

Have fun!

Novel Kicks Writing Room: Pick ‘n’ Mix

Hello and welcome to the first Novel Kicks Writing Room of 2023. 

Today, I thought it would be fun to write a short story.

Before you begin writing, pick one thing from each section. Don’t overthink it, just write down the one you’re immediately drawn to. Once you’ve done this and written your piece, ask what kind of story it is. Is it a rag to riches, a quest? You get the idea.

Let me know how you found this exercise in the comments below or if you’re feeling brave, feel free to post your story.

 

Section one – pick one of the following occupations.

A joiner, a detective, an oil rig worker, an ice hockey player, a diplomat.

 

Section Two – pick one of the following places.

The alps, a basement, top of the Shard, a cat sanctuary, a bank vault.

 

Section Three – now pick an object.

Novel Kicks Writing Room: Character Pen Pals.

I love the art of letter writing and have a couple of pen friends myself. It got me thinking about what you reveal about yourself in a letter that you wouldn’t if you met in real life.

Take a character from one of your WIPs. If you’re currently not working on anything, pick a character from a favourite novel.

Write a quick letter to this character. Tell them about yourself – your likes, dislikes, hobbies, fears and dreams. Ask them questions. You get the picture.

Then reply back as your character. Include responses to the information you gave them, as well as answers to the questions you asked them, like you would a pen pal.

Include revealing details about them. Get into the mindset of your character. What do they want you to write about them?

Novel Kicks Writing Room: Writing a Letter to Your Younger Self

Writing a letter to your younger self.

As I attempt to edit the drafts of my first novel, I have been thinking a lot about how much I can hold myself back, mostly through lack of confidence.

I have never been the most assured person but, as a sixteen year old, I seemed to be a lot more fearless than I am now. How does that happen?

Something I thought might be helpful is to write a letter of advice to my younger self.

What would you tell your 16 year-old-self? It doesn’t necessarily need to focus just on your writing life. It could be about anything.

Try it and see how you get on.

Novel Kicks Writing Room: Change a Story’s POV

For today’s writing room, change a story’s POV.

Sometimes, it can be good to change it up a little.

Take a passage from either a current work in progress of your own or a favourite novel.

Change the POV of the main character and rewrite the passage.

What would a scene from Pride and Prejudice be like from the point of view of Lady Catherine De Burgh or what about if Rom was the main character in a Harry Potter scene?

Novel Kicks Writing Room: Twelve Days of Christmas

Happy Wednesday everyone. 

For today’s writing room, I thought it would be good to just write.

As its December, the theme is going to be centred around Christmas.

Twelve days before Christmas, you arrive home to find an envelope on your doormat.

Your name is on the front, written in cursive writing that you don’t recognise. There is no stamp so it has been hand delivered.

When you open it, there is simply a clue, ‘on the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… to find out, go to the car park on Morgan Ave at 6pm today.’ 

Carry on the story, using the song as inspiration.

Novel Kicks Writing Room – NaNoWriMo Writing Sprint

Through November, I take part in National Novel Writing Month.

The idea, if you’ve never heard of it, is to write 50,000 words in thirty days.

That works out to about 1,667 words per day. This is what I usually aim for as a minimum, but I also don’t go over by much. Why? I like the community of the event. I like reaching that last 1,667 on or around 30thNovember. I’ve rushed through it before, and it wasn’t as exciting. One year, I had finished by 18th November and there was such an anti-climactic feeling of “oh, OK. What now?”

No, I much prefer to take it slow. 1,667 words a day is manageable to me. That’s not to say that it always comes easy. Some days, it takes me all afternoon to reach that target.

Finishing early is a bad thing. It just doesn’t work for me. What is good for you is the most important thing.

One of the things I have found helpful is writing sprints. These are made up of small writing challenges. They are usually based on a theme and do require a little imagination. If you want to see more examples, click here. I find them so helpful and fun. They have helped me improve my word output on more than one occasion.

Novel Kicks Writing Room: Put Your Reader into The Story

One of the things I am struggling most with the draft of my first novel is putting the reader into my story. 

Put it this way, there’s currently many adjectives and a lot of telling, not showing.

The thing I have heard many writers say when giving writing advice is to try and put your reader into the scene.

For example, don’t just say I walked up the hall and was scared, but try something like my heart thumped as I crept up the hall, the banging getting louder the closer I got.

I know, not my finest work but hopefully you get my point.
