Writing about a life-changing meeting

The blurb of Myne Whitman's novel, A Heart to Mend begins:

Gladys moves to live with an estranged aunt in Lagos and to continue her search for a job. Before long she lands the job of her dreams with the foremost oil company in the city and makes several new friends. She also gradually resolves the mystery of why her aunt previously cut all ties with their family. But the best part about her new life is meeting Edward Bestman.

Write a story that begins with a character who moves to a new place (long-term or short-term), solves a small initial mystery and meets a character who will change their life.

  1. The writing prompts, is there a structure to the outcome? I mean wordcount, poem or prose etc?

    Nice one, I was able to get a novel out of that idea. Thanks.

  2. Hi Myne,

    The writing prompts are intended to help writers get an idea for any sort of writing they want to do, or as short writing exercises to warm them up for other writing.

    Any way that people want to use them is fine with me. :)
