[Writing Prompt] The Journey

…Today I’m getting literal.
The Prompt

Your character takes a journey

I’m always banging on about journeys: “the character needs to move from one state to another”, “writing is as much about the journey as the destination”…

Well, enough with the metaphysical. Today we take a character and kick them to the kerb!

The Prompt

Your character takes a journey

Tips

  • It does have to be a literal journey.
  • It doesn’t have to be far.
  • But it can be.
  • It can also be metaphorical.
  • This will work best if they really, really want something and the journey is a part of that: promising reward or getting in the way of that ‘want’.

The Rules:

1. You should use the prompt in your story.

2. You must write the story in one 24 hr period – the faster the better.

3. Post the story in the comments — if you’re brave enough.

4. Find something nice to say about someone else’s story and leave a comment. Everybody needs a little support!
