Writing prompt 1 - Bubbles
Available until 8 August 2025
Where your imagination takes you
At a nearby sculpture woodland called Ty Sculpture Trail, one of the highlights is a natural phenomenon rather than human-made artwork. At the Bubbling Pond, silvery bubbles rise from the depths to cast circular ripples. It's a gloriously tranquil setting.
The trail makers claim no one knows what causes the bubbles, and suggest it could be a dragon snoozing in an underwater cave.
What myth or bubble-blowing science could you attribute the bubbles to? Can you create a character who shares this idea as a tale within a tale, and give them a someone to tell it to?
What might the consequences be?
