This dialogue must appear somewhere in your story: “You know what else children don’t know?” — creativewritingprompts.com

One day as you were cleaning you noticed air being sucked towards the base of wall near the cupboard. Perplexed you went closer to investigate. The air was going in, slightly yet in. You hold your breath and gingerly peel away at the wallpaper until a huge wrought iron door stands before you. Where does it lead? Did you imagine this? What happens next? — Writer’s Digest

In his bestselling memoir, ‘On Writing’ Stephen King said, “I believe stories are found things like fossil in the ground. The writer’s job is to use the tools in his or her toolbox to get as much of each one out of the ground intact as possible.” Now write a story where a writer literally digs up inspiration for his story. Is it an ancient relic or bones of an unknown person or maybe just a simple object that arouses his curiosity? — Akpan

Write a short story in which your narrator’s voice is both informal and informed. How will you take advantage of a point of view that can travel through time and space? — PW.Org
