Fictional Scenarios
Medium can be a great place to share some creative fiction. Here are some prompts that may help kickstart that creative writing juice.
A character finds an old, mysterious letter in the attic: Imagine someone discovering a letter that reveals a family secret or perhaps a hidden treasure. How does this change their life? Maybe this is not fictional but something that has happened to you.
Write a story that starts with the sentence: “It was a dark and stormy night.” Kick off your story with this classic line and let your imagination run wild. It’s a great setup for a tale of suspense or mystery.
Imagine a world where everyone has a superpower: What would society look like if everyone had a unique ability? Would it be a utopia or a dystopia? What would that superpower be?
A time traveller visits a significant historical event: Pick a moment in history and imagine how a time traveller might influence or simply observe what’s happening.
Write about a character who can’t lie: What challenges would someone face if they were physically incapable of lying? How would it affect their relationships? Think of a certain Ricky Gervais movie.
