🌟 Write a story where nothing “bad” happens—yet the reader feels increasingly unsafe. 🌟 . . . . . . . . 📝 Give this prompt a try, guys. I definitely am. How would you approach this story? I'd love to know!📝 💡This prompt particularly piqued my interest because the details are in what you don't say. There are a number of ways you can approach this prompt, but I believe it's really in the negative space. 🔧 Tool: Strategic omission 🚫 You can deliberately leave out: - motivations - explanations - emotional reactions that should be there ✨Example technique: - A character notices something odd. - They do not question it. - The narration moves on as if that’s normal. This creates the sense that either the narrator is lying or reality is compromised. Unease thrives in silence.

🖋 The Thing You Swore You'd Never Do 🖋 🌟 Our main character has built their life around a single promise: "I will never do that one thing." Maybe it's breaking the law, speaking to that person, falling in love, going home, using magic, forgiving someone, or telling a secret. 😮 One day, that promise is broken. 😮 ✅ Write the scene where it happens—then ask yourself: - What made them break it? - Who (or what) was worth the cost? - What kind of person were they before... and who are they becoming now? Let this scene grow. It might hold the heart of your project 😉
