What destinations might he explore in Africa or southern Asia? How do the Chinese negotiate, and what goods do they trade? What ancient treasure or sacred artifact could fall into your character’s hands, and what would he do with it? The Victorian Era In 1857, India (then a colony) rebelled against British rule. If your character is an Indian native, how could she aid in the fight for independence? If your character is a British citizen living in India, how does he feel about the revolution? No matter the side, how might the conflict put your character in danger? ----- NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR If you're in a creative rut, know that I've been there, too. I spent far too long struggling with my inability to write, and it negatively affected several aspects of my life. That's why I wrote 100 Historical Fiction Writing Prompts – because I know what it's like to feel creatively empty, and I want to help other writers beat their own blocks. In this booklet, I've combined techniques from my days in university (I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing) with the real-world lessons I learned from writing my own fiction novels. The result? A list of 100 prompts to get your creative gears spinning. But that's all I can do. The rest is up to you. Get back to writing today. Add to your "to read" shelf now. - Kate P.S.
