Another Cauldron Full of Fantasy Writing Prompts

1. The neighbor next door is definitely a wizard, but doesn’t want anyone to know. You eventually confront him about it. What is his reaction?
2. Your parents think you’re a normal teenager, but nothing could be further from the truth. What are you actually doing when they think you’re studying for a test? What are you actually listening to when they think you’re listening to the Top 10? What are you actually doing when they think you’re at a sleepover with friends?
3. The villain in your story has just discovered your protagonist’s weakness. Describe the weakness and how your villain intends to exploit it.
4. It’s your first night in the castle. Describe the setting and describe what goes on during the night when everyone else is asleep.
5. The florist just delivered a bouquet of flowers to your door. But these aren’t ordinary roses or daisies! These are dangerous flowers with strange powers. Tell us what they look like, smell like, and what powers they have.
6. A giant serpent is threatening a seaside village. It’s your job to identify supernaturals who can combat the serpent and save the villagers. Who do you get? Write some dialogue between you and at least one supernatural, trying to convince them to fight the serpent.
7. In true C. S. Lewis style, gnomes are human-like and live in underground caves; they exhibit a variety of skin colors and physical attributes. Using this as your base, create a situation for your gnomes. What do they look like? What do they like to do? What threatens them?
