Welcome to this year’s A-Z Blogging Challenge. My theme for this year is character prompts. Each day throughout April, you’ll find a new character prompt that relates to that day’s letter.
Day Twenty-Three: W – Wish Fulfilment
Your character has three wishes.
What do they wish for and why? Do they choose materialistic things or less tangible things? Do they choose things for themselves or others?
What does their choices reveal about their motivations and personality?
I’d love to read some of the scenarios you create. Email them to me at debbie@myrandommusings.co.uk and I’ll share some of my favourites over the coming months here on the blog.
If you enjoy these exercises and you want more creative writing prompts, writing tips and support, join The Writer’s Den group on Facebook now.

Willow wished to be wealthy,
then she wished it was worldwide
then she wished to be healthy
and watched the world balance with pride
Her wishes had worked so well
as her own and the world’s coffers rose
then one day the wishes they fell
as all need for striving it froze
For where was now the purpose
each morning for mankind to rise?
Now Willow wished for some recourse
and that she’d wished instead to be wise.

Love this so much! It’s so true that if everything is perfect, we don’t see it as perfect because we have nothing to compare it to and it may even become a kind of monotony.
My charecter’s wishes are
1. Her are her family being happy, healthy wealthy and together always
I think one wish fulfills all 😛
one loveable dreamy charecter who just wants to be happy
This is a good one!
Oh this one had my mind racing. It made me think of Aladdin first, and then what if there was no limit to her wishes, but in return something bad would happen like she forget a memory like in Never Ending Story or each wish she made (making her life better) brought bad luck to her family & friends – as the universes way of balancing things out. #BloggerClubUK
Those options have lots of possibilities!
Wish #1 – Space. Space to think, sit quietly and not be focusing on being mummy/marketing director/wife/chef/cleaner. A place where it is quiet and no one asks for things. She feels her very sanity may need this.
Wish #2 – Patience.
Wish #3 – The ability to care less. To do what is possible and accept that sometimes it won’t be perfect.

Great wishes, especially the third one!
Wishes always have unforeseen consequences don’t they? Like if you wished for your family to be happy what if they would be happiest without you in it?! I think the rain is making me pessimistic today! #bloggerclubUK
It’s true though – it all comes with a price to pay!
Hi, this is a tough one this week. I need to go away and come up with some ideas #bloggerclubuk
Is it a bit like the fairy tale wish where at the end all the wished evaporate but we are left realising how lucky we really are? #BloggerClubUK
I’ve really enjoyed reading the comments on your writing prompts posts over this last month #BloggerClubUK
I love your prompts, they really get me thinking #bloggerclubuk
At first glance I thought this would be really easy to do but I’m really struggling, I’ll have to go and think about it for a bit! #bloggerclubuk
I wrote a short story about wishes once, I need to find it! #BloggerClubUK
These prompts are great. I can imagine the character having to be careful what they wish for. #BloggerClubUK
