Writing Challenges

Writing Prompts - Romance

A/N - Some of these prompts will be repeated in different sections because they could be spun under many different genres. 

1.) Write a fantasy story about a character who wakes up every day feeling the same thing: that something in their life is just...missing. When they realize their frequent nightmares are actually memories, it all becomes clear.

2.) Write about a character who needs a miracle, and they meet one too! Who knew miracles were actually beings and not just something that happens? Your character makes a bad first impression when their miracle shows up to help them out.

3.) Death has been flirting with you for a long time, but they've become a bit annoying. After another attempting to hang out with you again, you jokingly tell them, "If I was the last person on Earth, I'd maybe give you a chance." Death believes you, and will double their efforts.

4.) By way of a lottery system, the king chooses you to be his queen.

5.) A lord takes a fancy to a peasant girl and kidnaps her for his own. Little does he know that she's a trained assassin who has been preparing to take his life for years. 

6.) You're an immortal who lives at a beach resort. You have many summer flings with mortals on getaways. One day you see someone you had a hot romantic night with 50 years ago. They look exactly the same. 

7.) The setting is a magical world where dragons can poly morph. You are the kidnapped daughter of a king. After being taken by a dragon, your father offered the standard reward to whoever rescued you. You weren't expecting a different dragon to be your savior.  

8.) A woman has been dating guy after guy, but it never seems to work out. She's unaware that she's actually been dating the same guy over and over; a shapeshifter who's fallen for her and is certain he's going to get it right this time. 

9.) In the future, romantic attraction is literal: each person is fitted with an electromagnetic bracelet which, they claim, will pull you to your soulmate. It's the day they turn the magnets on, and you're waiting.

10.) You're a serial killer who murders anyone you see hitchhiking up your mountain. One day, you pick up a hitchhiker who kills anyone who picks them up.
