Slap Some Sense – Writing Wednesday Prompt
I recently wrote a scene where a human woman slapped a fae lord (he deserved it and she knew she couldn’t actually hurt him, just startle him), so I decided to turn it into a prompt.

“How absurd it was that in all seven kingdoms, the weakest and most vulnerable of people - girls, women - went unarmed and were taught nothing of fighting, while the strong were trained to the highest reaches of their skill.”

“The great thing about fantasy is that you can drag dreams and longings and hopes and fears and strivings out of your subconscious and call them 'magic' or 'dragons' or 'faeries' and get to know them better. But then I write the stuff. Obviously I'm prejudiced.”
