NFFD 2020: Prompt 14




The Big Idea

You know that novel you've never actually written or that story idea that you've had on the back burner for a decade?  Spend five or ten minutes journalling about the idea and where it might go and why it hasn't ever quite been the right time to write it up.  Then craft that free-writing into a story.  (It needn't have anything at all to do with the original idea and yes, it can be as fictional as you like.) 

If you're stuck, Jonathan Cardew's essay on the NFFD blog might help.  (And yes, both bullet points and paragraphs are allowed.)

If you don't have a novel hanging over your head, all's the pity; you'll have to make one up really quickly for this prompt!
