Novel Kicks Fiction Friday: Walking Into A Snow Globe

Published December 12, 2025 | By Laura

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: 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.

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
