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.
