Motivation Monday – Stuck

Motivation Monday StuckIf you’re here this early, you must be on the hunt for a good, motivating writing prompt, right? You’re in luck (brownie points for being eager beavers, too).

You’ve been running some late night errands at the shopping centre in town. As lights are dimmed and shop front shutters are pulled closed, you scurry into the the last lift down to the underground car park. Between floors, the lift jolts to an abrupt stop and the lights fizzle out with a crack. You remain calm, but the seven other people in the lift with you begin to panic.

Write the ensuing dialogue and your observations of the characters around you.

Fancy a more competitive writing prompt? The winner of the monthly Novelicious Pinterest Prompt is published in our monthly newsletter, read by lots of industry professionals. Why not give that a try?
