DESCRIPTION & SETTING WRITING PROMPTS

Various cover designs available

125 pages for 20 separate locations, each section with over 40 writing prompts.

Wherever you are, whatever your location, feature it in your story. Following these prompts develops techniques to immerse a reader in your fiction... and go beyond those hacked-to-death horror tropes.

In what’s usually a normal setting, you’ll create dangers and threats that lurk beyond the obvious, or consider phobias to plague your characters.

Typical prompts include spotting the smallest things as well as the largest, and even something that’s old, new, or out of place. What about plants or animals? How could they become part of your story? There are also prompts for noises and smells, as well as touch and taste - vital in fiction, no matter the genre.

Once you’re fully tuned in to your surroundings, extra prompts include those to nurture ideas for pivotal scenes and perhaps even a plot twist.

Create horror stories with depth... deeper than the abyss.

How to Use this Book

  • Take this journal everywhere you go. A writer knows how inspiration can slap them in the face.

  • You could be anywhere. It doesn’t have to be far from home (indeed, it could be in the garden or perhaps another room where you don’t usually write), but be sure to have a pen or pencil.

  • Give yourself time to tune in to your surroundings.

  • Slowly go through each prompt with a keen eye, and don’t skip any. Scribble detailed notes – even write in the margins if needed!

  • You are there to breathe in the atmosphere. Become a part of that location, and turn it into the perfect place for your science fiction story. No matter the sub-genre!

  • When you reach the final prompts, you’ll have all necessary components for a location that will help flesh out a scene. Whether it’s for a future project or a work-in-progress, you’ll write a scene in which your readers become instantly absorbed. You want to create a page turner, right?

  • Above all else, have fun! Enjoy yourself as you begin to truly see everything, and where you may even smell or hear things you wouldn’t otherwise have noticed.
