Few Imaginative and Funny Writing Prompts


Today, let’s move away from the usual serious topics. The topic for this post is Imaginative and Funny Writing Prompts. It’s just our imagination and us; the wilder the imagination, the better ideas we can get.  Here are few of my wacky ideas.

1. Imagine your Main Character’s boyfriend/girlfriend, who is  prone to jealousy and suspicion, volunteers for a clone experiment. It succeeds, and now there are two of them, exactly the same. Its Double Trouble. What happens to the poor MC when she/he  has to put up with the two of them?

2. Three men wearing strange clothes follow your Protagonist  and her/his friend home. It turns out that the Protagonist’s girl friend/boyfriend is an alien with amnesia, and can't remember a thing. These men have arrived to escort him/her back. What happens now?

3. Your Protagonist  befriends a man who is the Keeper of Secrets. Now your protagonist is aware of every secret  in the world. He/she can blackmail everyone. What does your protagonist do?

4. Your Main Character is stranded with a  shape-shifter on a deserted highway. Now what happens?


5. One of your characters meets with an accident, he/she wakes up in the hospital and realizes that they have developed an ability to read people’s minds, or see their future. This can be disastrous.

These prompts are great short story ideas.Can you think of any wild and funny writing prompts? We all badly need to exercise our  creative muscle and also laugh. Please share them with us.

    I love all the prompts, but the first one really stood out. You should write that story!

    @ Vidya...you are right. Each prompt is a story material by itself.

    @ Sameer....thanks.

    @ Ellie...Even I think I should write the first one as a book.

    @ The Red Angel....I am glad the prompts got the engine in your right brain all geared up.

    @ Lynda....I would be scared if I was stranded with a shape shifter. I would be running as fast as I can.

    Great prompts! I personally would go for 1 & 3. But all are wonderful and could turn out into fantastic stories.

    Number four sounds great. With number one next. But you need to write all of these as novels, Rachna. You're thinking out of the box, my friend. :-)
