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. 

Once you’ve decided, take some time to think about the narrative – what happens throughout the story?

Write it out chronologically. Now, think about what could happen if you had other options in the story. For example, what if Little Red Riding Hood reached her Grandmother’s house and the Grandmother is the villain? However, due to a previous choice to help the wolf, he then comes to the rescue.

This is how you could begin –

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

Option A – She turns left and heads straight for her Grandmother with no issues.

Option B – She goes right and finds a wolf cub on the road.

This is a great exercise and I hope you have as much fun as I did.

If you’d like to create one digitally rather than on paper, this is a great site and it’s free.

I’m Laura. I started Novel Kicks in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.

I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
