Writing Prompt: Animals

Hey, guys!

Time for a new writing prompt.

Imagine you have the power to talk to animals. I know that this has been done before, but create an original character. How do they use this power? For good or evil?

What kinds of animals does your character interact with the most? The least? What do they tell your character?

In what kinds of situations would this be helpful? How could this ability be a hindrance?

Do the animals like having a human with whom to communicate? Do they shun your character for being a human because the animals may have preconceived notions about humans (neglectful, careless, abusive)?

If you're looking for an even more specific writing prompt, write a scene in which a human and an animal both demand the attention of your character and are trying to speak with him or her. How does your character handle this situation?

Finally, give your character a pet. What is this pet's name? What kind of an animal is it? Create a character profile for the pet and the human that can communicate with animals. How do the characters interact?

Have fun and be original.

Happy writing!!
