Hello Wednesday and welcome to another Novel Kicks Writing Room.
For our exercise today, I thought it would be interesting to write and then rewrite.
Pick from the following genres – Romance, Thriller, Dystopian or Fantasy.
Write a scene which includes the following details:
A open envelope with an address scribbled on it in unfamilar handwriting.
A library with sunlight coming in from the window.
A muddy footprint.
Once you’ve written your scene, pick another genre from the list above and rewrite your scene. Once you’ve done that, pick another genre and rewrite the scene again.
Write a minimum of 10 minutes each time. How different or similar did each one seem? Was one genre easier than the others? I’d love to know how you got on in the comments below.

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.
