Prompts
- "I'm not running away, I'm moving on." Irvine Welsh
- Ancestor Appreciation Day is a day to learn about your family tree. Your character sets out to research their family tree and finds out something extremely surprising about one of their ancestors.
- It's World Heart Day. Write about something featuring hearts. Some suggestions: Heart surgery, heart transplants, hearts and flowers, broken hearts, the heart of the matter.
- In 2016, scientists perfected mitochondrial donation, allowing for a baby to be born who had three biological parents. Your character has three parents. Perhaps they are a product of this technology. How does having three parents affect their life? Or perhaps they belong to a race of aliens in which three beings are required to produce offspring. What does that society look like?
- Irvine Welsh was born in 1961. His most famous book is Trainspotting. Write a story featuring train spotters.
