I was reading through the Guardian's top 10 scientific discoveries of the year. Which made me think that so many of the headings for each of the ten were actually great ideas to inspire short stories. I google-searched science journals, and looked through some of their titles, marvelling at how they could provide some great ideas - just by reading the headings, without necessarily reading the articles themselves.
For example, over at Science Daily, I found the following titles set my 'cogs' in motion and had potential short stories brewing up...
- 'The Shadows in a City Reveal Its Energy Flow'
- 'Artichokes Grow Big in Texas'
- 'Detecting the 'Heartbeat' of Smallest Black-Hole Candidate'
- 'Immunity Against the Cold'
If you want to try out this week's prompt, try visiting Science Daily or some other science journal, look for potential short-story inspiration in any of the titles and ...well, ...write.
As ever, if you feel like sharing what you've written connected to this prompt, leave us a message to let us know.
