Yes, it’s time for another set of “What If?” Writing Prompts. This week, I’m sharing a batch themed to a new topic that’s been on my mind lately: mythology! What sorts of tales can you spin around the elements of classic myths and legends? Good luck!

What if… there really were such things as horses with horns, wings, fins, extra legs, or human upper bodies?

What if… dragons were kept as pets and guardians in the past?

What if… gods and goddesses of ancient civilizations were living among humans today?

What if… you had the ability to see people’s animal spirits?

What if… you were given the chance to become a hero of legend?

Have fun putting your own twists on mythological stories!

If you have any “What If?” writing prompt suggestions (for any theme), please feel free to share them in the comments below. Ideas I like may be featured in future “What If?” posts, with full credit and a link to your blog (if you have one)! Also, if you’ve written a piece based on an idea you’ve found here, be sure to link back to the respective “What If?” post. I would love to see what you’ve done with the prompt! Thank you!
