What if?

Get the creative juices flowing by asking the question "what if?" This is a good question to ask when you get stuck or experience writer's block. Sometimes it can inspire a new thread that takes the story in a new direction.

Pumping Your Muse writing prompt

For today's writing prompt, if you have a current work in process (WIP) choose one of your characters and ask what if...

• They were single/married/finally find a girlfriend or boyfriend?
• They won the lottery/lost their job?
• They get a flat tire?
• They lost their temper at the wrong time?
• They turn over a new leaf?
• They overhear a plot to rob a bank, throw a game, get someone fired....

Okay, if you don't have a WIP (shame on you), write a scene answering one or more "what if" questions about yourself. This is just to stretch your creativity, so have fun. If you come up with a "what if" feel free to share in the comments so other writer's can benefit.

Coming soon! Dragonborn by Donna Sundblad

Dragonborn conjures up a winning fantasy with dragons, humans, time travel, and magic. Follow the journey of the young prisonguard, Ervig Greenfields, as he seeks out dragons to remove a curse. The dragons offer him access to the Labyrinth of Times, which will purge the dark magic. But there’s a catch. Erving must take the Dragon Oath that requires allegiance--to fight alongside dragons for centuries, never to return to his own time. He and a handful of others take the selfless oath and become Dragonborn. The Dragonborn and their dragons become seeds of change, in this epic tale, of sacrifice for the greater good. Ride along with them as they slip through a tear in time to the past to change the future.
