Psst… I have a secret….

Few things grab our attention more than knowing a good (or not so good) secret. Secrets add suspense and tension to stories, and are great ways to sprinkle in conflict. 

I know something you don’t know…  How many of you heard this from your siblings as kid?

Secrets can be benign or life-shattering.  They are mysterious, dramatic, and powerful. Secrets shape our lives and can be a great tool for character development.  Revealing a secret?  Plot twist!

Since ‘secret’ is the theme of the month, with our Secret Author contest stories being revealed daily, I thought it would be fun to feature some not-so-secret prompts.  Well, as far as who writes them, anyway.  The prompts themselves will be full of secrets.  So write away… and shhhhh…  

PT Prompt #145

Create your own secret society.  What’s its mission statement and purpose? Who are its members?  Where do you meet? 

PT Prompt #146

Center your story around a secret that, when revealed, would destroy one person’s life while saving another’s.
