Writing Prompts 3

Season 2: Episode 10

 

So what I decided to do for this last episode of Season 2 is dig through my little notebook of story ideas. Find three of them and use them as writing prompts to write three different stories, in the same way I did on the two episodes I had my sons on.

 

I put myself on a ten-minute timer for each prompt, but honestly, just like the snooze button in the morning, I had to press that re-start button a few times. So each story took roughly an hour to write. Not bad. But I don’t want to give any false impressions of my abilities.

 

At some point, hopefully next year, I plan on compiling all these quick writing prompt stories into a collection I’ll be marketing towards children, ages 8-13 I think. I say that just so you know these tales aren’t meant to be “serious literary fiction.” They’re short, they’re silly, often parabolic, sometimes not, but hopefully always entertaining.

 

And as always, if you, yourself, have written a story you’d like me to read on the show, or if you have a writing prompt for me to write a story, please email: storykingpodcast@gmail.com. If I like it, I just might use it. Try to keep your story between 1-3 thousand words. Again, that’s storykingpodcast@gmail.com.
