Creative Writing Prompts IV

Sometimes there's nothing like a good old-fashioned writing prompt to get those creative juices flowing again. After all, we all have those times where we hit the wall of our creativity, and even though the story is ours, can't think of a way to answer to the simple question, "What happens next?" Hopefully, these prompts will help remedy that.

​1.) He still remembered the first time he tasted oxygen.

3.) Being turned into something else by magic is always a punishment. What if someone wanted to be turned into an animal? What would make someone that desperate?

5.) A world where parents can choose one personality trait for each of their children, based on the meanings of the first name they choose. (And for a special fee can add a middle name for an extra bonus).

7.) "I'm not yet eighteen, and I've seen it all—love and hate, peace and war, joy and pain—but nothing has prepared me for the consequences of tinkering with time."

9.) "Hey, wait, you can't just kill my parents like that!"
"I'm the author. Can, and am."
"Great, now I'm an orphan. Haven't seen that done before."
"But you have a rich uncle that will take you in and—"
"Ooh, even better. Let me guess, he has a mansion?"

I hope these were useful to you, whether they helped keep a current story going, or inspire a new one, but if they didn't...
